The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is
the largest scientific instrument ever built. Its greatest success at this
point is the discovery of the Higgs boson, but we hope for many more
discoveries in the coming years. So far, the LHC experiments have focused
mostly on the cleanest discovery channels, i.e. those without the collimated
beams of particles known as jets. Although these jets are ubiquitous at the
LHC, they provide tremendous challenges to both theory and experiment. On the
theory side, they are not well described at any order in perturbation theory;
on the experimental side, they are hard to accurately measure. Over the last
decade or so, there has been remarkable progress in overcoming these
challenges. This talk will review elements of the LHC program including the
Higgs discovery and discuss the ongoing revolution in jet physics.
