Description
The discovery of the Higgs-like particle at the Large Hadron Collider represents the ultimate triumph of the Standard Model of particle physics, our current description of fundamental matter and forces. But there are good reasons, both theoretical and empirical, to believe there is New Physics that goes beyond the Standard Model. I will describe the remarkable efforts underway to search for New Physics at three experimental and observational frontiers: Energy, Intensity, and Cosmic. I will also present novel proposals that address some of the outstanding mysteries in particle physics, along with new signatures and experimental strategies to test these scenarios.
