Collider searches for new electroweak-scale particles that decay hadronically are generally considered to be highly challenging. This is the case in particular for a light, standard-model Higgs boson, which decays predominantly to b-quarks. At the LHC, a new region of phase-space will open up for such searches, in which the new particle can be produced with high transverse momenta, causing its decay products to be Lorentz-boosted into a single jet with substructure. This talk discusses novel methods and emerging prospects for performing Higgs-boson and other new-physics searches in this limit.
