Titel: Measuring and Searching the Energy Frontier using the Large Hadron Collider

Inhalt:
The Standard Model of particle physics has scored a major triumph with the discovery of the Higgs boson. It is now potentially valid well above the electroweak symmetry breaking scale, in the region currently probed at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. Yet the theory leaves important questions unanswered, and the search for clues continues. I will discuss one approach to this search, using minimally model-dependent measurements which both test the Standard Model and constrain options beyond it.
