Abstract
The experiments currently underway at the Large Hadron Collider are exploring the physics of the TeV energy scale, which may hold the answers to some of the most profound questions in particle physics. These lectures describe the status of searches for new physics beyond the standard model, focusing on supersymmetry, but addressing other aspects of this enormously broad physics program as well. Such topics as extra spatial dimensions, new gauge bosons, and microscopic black holes are included in the category known as exotica; some of these possibilities are also considered here. The methodologies and challenges associated with searches for new physics are discussed, followed by a survey of some of the basic phenomenology and the experimental results. This pedagogical review is intended for graduate students and postdocs who are working on this critical part of the LHC research program.
