DESCRIPTION:At the beginning of the twenty-first century\, we have fou
 nd the last critical piece of the Standard Model\, the long sought for
  Higgs Boson. As we complete our understanding of the details of this 
 model\, there is a growing anxiety that there may be no new physics be
 yond the Standard Model\, or that the new physics may only manifest at
  energies so high as to be practically unreachable. We do\, however ha
 ve several hints of new physics\, and I will make the case that our ne
 xt steps in understanding it are eminently doable. Much of these hints
  of new physics can be further explored with the construction of large
  (for varying definitions of "large") detectors deep underground. I wi
 ll focus on the search for dark matter with two-phase xenon-filled tim
 e projection chambers under the guise of LUX and LZ\, and briefly touc
 h on opportunities stemming from future detectors built for long-basel
 ine neutrino experiments. The physics program discussed here has a bro
 ad and interesting reach and will be instrumental in furthering our un
 derstanding of the Universe and guiding our expansion of the Standard 
 Model in the years to come.
