Since three years the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), in
particular ATLAS, investigate particle physics at the highest collision energies
ever achieved in a laboratory. Following a rich harvest of results for Standard
Model (SM) Physics came in 2012 the fi rst spectacular discovery of a new,
heavy particle, most likely the long-awaited Higgs boson. The latest results
with the full data set accumulated over the fi rst three-years running period
of the LHC will be presented. Other, far-reaching results can already be
reported for exploratory new physics searches like Supersymmetry (SUSY)
and its implication for Dark Matter in the Universe, Extra Dimensions, and the
production of new heavy particles.
However, with the recent discovery of a new boson the exciting journey
into unexplored physics territory, within and beyond the SM, has only
just begun at the LHC, in particular also in view of the increased collision
energy expected for the next running period starting in 2015. Besides the
fi rst results and the future prospects, the talk will also cover briefl y the
history and the challenges of the whole LHC project, as well as the fruitful
collaboration with the Czech groups since the very beginning of this large
scientifi c adventure.
