Workshop Gearing up for LHC13

2015 will be an important year for the Large Hadron Collider. With the start of Run 2 at a centre of mass energy of 13-14 TeV, it will be possible to probe the existence of heavier states as expected in extensions of the Standard Model motivated by e.g. naturalness and dark matter. Preliminary results from Run 2 could either confirm the Standard Model with high accuracy or provide first hints of new structures at the TeV scale. In either case, the results from Run 2 will determine much of the future of the field for decades. The workshop aims to bring together experimentalists and theorists to discuss early Run 2 results and their implications for particle physics. A conference will take place the last week of the workshop.
