LHCSki 2016 : A First Discussion of 13 TeV Results
These are the proceedings of the LHCSki 2016 workshop "A First Discussion of 13 TeV Results" that has been held at the Obergurgl Universit\"atszentrum, Tirol, Austria, April 10 - 15, 2016. In this workshop the consequences of the most recent results from the LHC have been discussed, with a focus also on the interplay with dark matter physics, flavor physics, and precision measurements. Contributions from the workshop speakers have been compiled into this document.Much is at stake when the LHC will explore the Terascale of particle physics with an increased center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at high luminosity. The Higgs is discovered, but the absence of much anticipated new physics puts severe pressure on what are believed to be our best solutions to the most pressing questions in particle physics: What is the origin of the 16-decade hierarchy between the Planck and Electroweak scale and what is the particle nature of Dark Matter? Is there a natural solution to the hierarchy problem or must we consider embracing the idea that our Universe is just one out of a landscape of possibilities? Finally, will the LHC at higher energies be able to produce Dark Matter in the laboratory and shed light on what 85% of the Universe’s mass is made of? The aim of the workshop is to bring together key experimentalists and leading particle theorists to “take stock”, discuss the implications of the new data and to devise strategies on how to move forward with the pressing questions mentioned above.These are the proceedings of the LHCSki 2016 workshop "A First Discussion of 13 TeV Results" that has been held at the Obergurgl Universitätszentrum, Tirol, Austria, April 10-15, 2016.
