Abstract:

After a short review of some of the most interesting open questions in the Standard Model, possible signals for new physics will be discussed, highlighting recent results and prospects for discovery, mainly at hadron colliders but also at other facilities. Possible signals that will be discussed include Higgs bosons, supersymmetric particles, large extra dimensions, new gauge bosons, and dynamical symmetry breaking. The discovery potential of the LHC and ILC will be emphasized, and the impact of discovery on answering fundamental questions of physics will be assessed.
