This article reviews the arguments why extra dimensions provide a unique opportunity for progress on the cosmological constant problem, and updates the status of -- and the objections to (with replies) -- the specific proposal using…
Between the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the LHC, hundreds of individual event selections have been measured in the data to look for evidence of supersymmetry at a center of mass energy of 8 TeV. While there is currently no significant…
This is a brief and limited review of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model from the ATLAS, CDF, CMS and D0 experiments, as of the end of July 2011. Priority is given to the most recent results and to those with the largest…
The early minimum bias and the QCD results from the ATLAS experiment in the LHC are presented.
Since the current uncertainty on the structure of the proton affects the new physics discovery potential of LHC, the ATLAS collaboration is investigating methods to constrain this uncertainty over the whole LHC kinematic regime. The…
A brief summary of recent measurements of QCD jet production at the LHC, featuring results from ATLAS and CMS, is given. Results for heavy flavours are also shown.
With the high bunch-crossing and interaction rates and potentially large event sizes the experiments at the LHC challenge data acquisition and trigger systems. Within the ATLAS experiment, a multi-level trigger system based on hardware and…
This note describes an independent assessment of the statistical significance of the recently released ATLAS and CMS data, about 11 fb-1 per experiment acquired in 2011 and in the first part of 2012, for what concerns the Higgs search in…
The capabilities of the ATLAS, CMS and LHCb detectors to reconstruct jets at forward rapidities (|\eta|> 3) in p-p collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are reviewed. The QCD and Higgs physics motivations for such measurements are…
