These days, while the landscape of discoveries at LHC has yet to be unveiled, planning for upgrades twenty years or more in advance towards a possible experimental scenario, might sound very imaginative and ambitious. Nevertheless, as plans…
The Large Hadron Collider, LHC, though meant for discovery, will provide enough data from early phase to also perform various studies of Standard Model processes in as yet unexplored kinematic regions. Precision measurements of the…
We review the search for new physics to be performed at the Large Hadron Collider(LHC). Namely, we review the expectations for the Higgs boson, supersymmetry and exotica detection at LHC. We also describe the main parameters of the CMS and…
Measurements of the top quark production cross section in proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider are presented. The measurements require no, one or two electrons or muons in the final state (single…
Since its discovery in 1995 by the CDF and D0 collaborations at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, the top quark has undergone intensive studies. Besides the Tevatron experiments, with the start of the LHC in 2010 a top quark factory started…
An accurate determination of the top quark pair production cross section at the LHC provides a valuable check of the Standard Model. Given the high statistics which will be available (about one top quark pair per second, at a luminosity of…
The most recent results of the top-quark mass measurements with the ATLAS detector using data collected from proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider are presented. Although several decay modes of the top-quark pairs have been…
With the absence of the direct detection of new physics and the large data set collected at the LHC, the search for indirect effects in precision measurements became popular. Effective field theories enable to interpret these effects that…
The Large Hadron Collider will provide an unprecedented quantity of collision data right from the start-up. The challenge for the LHC experiments is the quick use of these data for the final commissioning of the detectors, including…
The LHC detectors are well into their construction phase. The LHC schedule shows first beam to ATLAS and CMS in 2007. Because the LHC accelerator has begun to plan for a ten fold increase in LHC design luminosity (the SLHC or super LHC) it…
