Physics at the Large Hadron Collider
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is scheduled for first collisions in 2007. In these lectures the motivations for the LHC, its physics programme and its experimental challenges are reviewed. Emphasis is given to the multi-purpose proton-proton detectors ATLAS and CMS and their physics goals....

description | The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is scheduled for first collisions in 2007. In these lectures the motivations for the LHC, its physics programme and its experimental challenges are reviewed. Emphasis is given to the multi-purpose proton-proton detectors ATLAS and CMS and their physics goals. Some of the important foreseen measurements and searches are discussed, including precise measurements of the mass of the W and of the top quark, the search for the Higgs boson(s) and for supersymmetric particles. |
