Title: Diboson Resonances at the LHC
Abstract: The search for new physics in connection with electroweak symmetry breaking is a central goal of the physics program of the LHC. Among many different possible signals, diboson resonance is one of the most promising. In this talk, I will give an overview of new physics scenarios which can be probed with this search channel. I will describe possible interpretations of the potential excess observed in run 1. The potential of testing them, as well as covering more ground beyond them, at run 2 will be discussed.
