Plenary
The Higgs discovery changed our understanding of electroweak symmetry breaking, and the current theoretical focus is on illuminating the properties of the Higgs boson. I will discuss the Standard Model Higgs sector as the low energy limit of unknown high scale physics and present the status of theoretical calculations in the electroweak symmetry breaking sector and prospects for future discoveries.

Lattice QCD has matured to a degree where it is now possible to study excited hadrons as they truly appear in nature, as short-lived resonant enhancements decaying into multiple possible final states.
Through variational analysis of matrices of correlation functions computed with large bases of interpolating fields it has proven possible to extract many excited state energy levels, and...

The GlueX experiment is located in the recently constructed experimental Hall D at Jefferson Lab (JLab), and provides a unique capability to search for hybrid mesons in high-energy photoproduction, utilizing a 9 GeV linearly polarized photon beam. Commissioning of the Hall D beamline and GlueX detector was recently completed and the data collected in the spring of 2017 officially began the...
