The increased center-of-mass energy will make more stringent studies of properties properties of the Higgs boson possible and it will extend the reach of searches of physics Beyond the Standard Model. The exploration of this new energy regime cannot be successful without a careful  (re)consideration of Standard Model processes and backgrounds, often dominated by strong interactions.
