Abstract:  "Our spectacular discovery of the Higgs boson at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2012 put the crown jewel on the Standard Model of fundamental particles and interactions.  But deep questions about the unnaturally light Higgs boson mass, matter-antimatter asymmetry, dark matter, and other key features of the universe remain unanswered.  Our measurements of the Higgs boson’s couplings and parity, as well as searches for additional Higgs particles, have given us a bright new spotlight to look for supersymmetry and other exciting new phenomena that may solve these problems.  I will describe our latest results in the Higgs sector with the higher-energy ATLAS data, as well as the promising prospects for future discovery.”
