Description
I discuss the Standard Model of Elementary Particle Physics and potential for discoveries of the physics responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking. I review the ideas leading to development of the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism that now forms the dynamical basis for electroweak symmetry breaking in the conventional Standard Model. I discuss issues that challenge the Standard Model and examine alternatives to the Standard Model that address these issues that may lead to new discoveries at the LHC that go Beyond Higgs.
