Ten years after the discovery of the Higgs boson, the field of particle physics is at a crucial juncture where the particle content of the Standard Model (SM) is complete, but without any new physics evidence through collider experiments. However, it is quite evident from the astrophysical observations and neutrino experiments that the SM cannot be a complete theory; at the most, it can be a low energy approximation of a more complete theory encompassing strong and electroweak interactions. In such a scenario, the search for new physics can be pursued either through direct searches, or by deciphering tiny SM predictions through precision measurements. This presentation would consist the description of the experimental setup with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, and a brief tour to the SM measurements. The later part of this presentation would be geared up towards the initial Run 3 measurements and the outlook for future operations of the LHC. |
