Colloquium - Lisa Everett(University of Wisconsin) Physics Beyond the Standard Model in the LHC Era

Particle physics has entered an exciting and data-rich era in which the physics of the Tera-electron volt scale is being probed at an unprecedented level at the Large Hadron Collider.  To date, this exploration has shown the continued triumph of the Standard Model of particle physics in providing a spectacularly successful description of nature -- and as such, has placed new facets on the issue of how the Standard Model can be extended to a more complete, fundamental theory.  In this talk, I will provide an overview of the current status of the LHC results and their implications for physics beyond the Standard Model, with an emphasis on the issue of Higgs sector naturalness.
