Beyond the Standard Model

We cover some current topics in Beyond the Standard Model phenomenology, with an emphasis on collider (particularly Large Hadron Collider) phenomenology. We begin with a review of the Standard Model and some unresolved mysteries that it leaves. Then, we shall heuristically introduce supersymmetry, grand unified theories and extra dimensions as paradigms forexpanding the Standard Model. The collider phenomenology of such modelsis too rich and complex to review, but we give some key examples of how the new states associated with the models might be inferred in Large HadronCollider events. Before concluding, we finish with a brief description of aquantum field theory approximation that can be used in some cases to reducemodel dependence: effective field theory.
