During the last cen tury\, particle physicists have formulated and tested a &ldquo\;Standard M odel&rdquo\; of fundamental particle physics. \; This model has been e xtremely valuable in successfully making precise predictions for thousands of experiments. \; Still\, physicists know this model is incomplete!  \;For example\, through many astrophysical observations\, we know tha t the source of a large fraction of the energy in the Universe is due to p articles and forces beyond what is included in the Standard Model.  \; This is a pretty big missing piece\, but there is more!  \;We also don &rsquo\;t understand the structure of the Standard Model\, or the reason w e observe a matter-dominated Universe &ndash\; why not antimatter?  \; These mysteries (and others) mean that there is certainly &ldquo\;New Phys ics&rdquo\; waiting to be discovered if we do the right experiments! \ ; Where is the New Physics hiding? \; We don&rsquo\;t know.  \;I&r squo\;ll review several ongoing experimental efforts aimed at answering so me of these big fundamental mysteries.
