ATLAS

Just over a year ago, the LHC started colliding beams of protons together at 7 TeV - the highest energy that has ever been achieved, and more than three times the previous record. Since then, the ATLAS experiment has published over a dozen papers ranging from rediscovery of the standard model to unprecedented sensitivity in searches for quark substructure, new particles, and mini-black holes. I will discuss some of these results, focusing on searches for new physics in proton-proton and lead-lead collisions, as well as some of the teething pains we are experiencing with this one year-old.
