5. Where is “Everything Else”?
> 150 searches:
“no significant signal was found…”

6. No stone unturned, no loop untied…
Summary of LHC: Spring 2012
Most of the low-hanging fruit has been picked
Starting to get creative (“SUSY with no MET”, etc)
SM reigns supreme at the LHC thus far
With no clear hint of NP in direct searches, flavor physics continues to be a critical search focus
No stone unturned, no loop untied…

7. Super B Physics Workshop
