Abstract:
The discovery of the Higgs boson earlier this decade completed the Standard Model of particle physics. With the fifty-year search for this elusive particle now complete, we can turn our focus to the next discovery. I will review some of the most promising discovery candidates based on phenomena that the Standard Model does not explain. I will also mention a few possible surprises based on current anomalies in particle physics measurements.
