SUMMARY:Top quarks & beyond at the Large Hadron Collider\, NPAC (Nucle
 ar/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Louise Skinnari\, Cornell
DESCRIPTION:The first run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been 
 a great success\, most notably with the discovery of the Higgs boson. 
 Despite the continued triumph of the Standard Model\, critical questio
 ns remain unanswered about how nature works on small scales. As the mo
 st massive of all known elementary particles\, the top quark plays a c
 entral role in many proposed extensions to the Standard Model that add
 ress some of these questions. A precise understanding of top quarks an
 d their production and properties is therefore critical. In this talk\
 , I will discuss the motivation and status of top quark physics at the
  LHC\, presenting recent results from the CMS experiment. Additionally
 \, I will give an outlook to the future upgrade of the LHC to higher l
 uminosities (HL-LHC)\, and its resulting potential and challenges for 
 the CMS experiment.
