The Large Hadron Collider is a unique tool to probe fundamental interactions and explore physics processes at an unprecedented energy scale. Early measurements may already provide hints of new physics in the data. These seminars will address some theoretical and experimental aspects of our current understanding of the SM, with a look ahead.
