Abstract:
The Standard Model is our best description of nature at the very
smallest length scales, but at galactic length scales, the model fails
dramatically: it provides no explanation for gravity or for the inert
dark matter that makes up most of the matter in the universe.
With the LHC set to probe much higher energies than before, chances
are better than ever of uncovering new phenomena that point the way
Beyond the Standard Model. In this talk, I'll review some of the
ongoing searches for BSM phenomena in hadronic final states at the
ATLAS Experiment at the LHC, discuss what the search results imply for
possible explanations of dark matter and other BSM theories, and
comment on the prospects for discovery in 2015 and beyond.
