SUMMARY:Hunting for new physics at CERN : Highlights and Prospects\, P
 hysics Department Colloquium\, Niki Saoulidou\, University of Athens
DESCRIPTION:First we will make a brief introduction of the most comple
 te theory to date\,  the Standard Model of Particle Physics\, describi
 ng  elementary particles and their interactions. Then\, we will mentio
 n its shortcomings and limitations in the form of tantalizing anomalie
 s and unknowns\, that strongly point to new physics\, waiting to be di
 scovered. Efforts to resolve these now and in the near future are taki
 ng place with several different running and planned experiments worldw
 ide. In this talk we will focus on the main two general purpose experi
 ments\, ATLAS and CMS\, collecting data from proton-proton collisions 
 at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We will review status and pro
 spects for discovering new physics at the LHC\, trying to address the 
 aforementioned open questions\, with the data collected thus far  in R
 un II and Run III\, and also the ones anticipated at the High Luminosi
 ty (HL) LHC era. First\, we will describe intriguing excesses seen by 
 the ATLAS and CMS experiments in Run II\, together with their status a
 nd follow-up plans in Run III. Next\, we will focus on efforts targeti
 ng new and often more complex final states probing unexplored regions 
 of new physics space enabled by i)  new approaches to select and recor
 d events at the trigger level  ii) novel reconstruction and identifica
 tion techniques\, and iii) powerful new analysis methodologies. Finall
 y we we will briefly discuss prospects with the  HL-LHC and give an ov
 erall outlook.
