Sumario:A PHYSTAT workshop on the topic of Statistical issues for LHC physics was held at CERN. The workshop focused on issues related to discovery that we hope will be relevant to the LHC. These proceedings contain written versions of nearly all the talks, several of which were given by professional statisticians. The talks varied from general overviews, to those describing searches for specific particles. The treatment of background uncertainties figured prominently. Many of the talks describing search strategies for new effects should be of interest not only to particle physicists but also to scientists in other fields.
