Top quark physics continues to be an exciting and fast moving research area. The large statistics provided by the LHC are allowing us to measure processes never observed before and to develop new methods to improve the precision for the…
Experiments will soon start taking data at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with high expectations for discovery of new physics phenomena. Indeed, the LHC's unprecedented center-of-mass energy will allow the experiments to probe an energy…
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…
Future Experiments at LHC will have the opportunity to pursue an extensive program on B Physics and CP violation. The expected performance are presented here.
In this talk, I review progress in experimental QCD in the last year, concentrating on the results and phenomenology of the first year of running of the LHC.
I review the use of effective lagrangians in describing the physics beyond the standard model, several theoretical and practical aspects are discussed. It is argued that the only situations where new physics can be observed corresponds to…
The Standard Model is the answer to questions 1 and 2, as established by LEP. Supersymmetry is doubtless the answer to question 3, as may well be established by the LHC.
The considerable center-of-mass energy and luminosity provided by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will ensure a discovery reach for new particles which extends well into the multi-TeV region. ATLAS and CMS have carried out many studies of…
There is a deeply entrenched view in philosophy and physics, the closed systems view, according to which isolated systems are conceived of as fundamental. On this view, when a system is under the influence of its environment this is…
The prospects of measuring masses, spin and CP properties within Supersymmetry and other beyond the Standard Model extensions at the LHC are reviewed. Emphasis is put on models with missing transverse energy due to undetected particles, as…
This article summarises the physics at future linear colliders. It will be shown that in all studied physics scenarios a 1 TeV linear collider in addition to the LHC will enhance our knowledge significantly and helps to reconstruct the…
In this chapter we explore a few examples of physics opportunities using the existing chain of accelerators at CERN, including potential upgrades. In this context the LHC ring is also considered as a part of the injector system. The…
An overview is given on key physics, detector and accelerator aspects of the LHeC, including its further development, with emphasis to its role as the cleanest microscope of parton dynamics and a precision Higgs facility.
Extra dimensions provide a very useful tool in addressing a number of the fundamental problems faced by the Standard Model. The following provides a very basic introduction to this very broad subject area as given at the VIII School of the…
The installation of forward proton detectors at the LHC will provide the possibility to observe central exclusive processes, opening a novel window on physics beyond the Standard Model. We review recent developments on the discovery…
I review recent theoretical work on electroweak symmetry breaking.
Ten years into the LHC physics programme, I reflect on the vast amount of extraordinary results that have emerged so far.
The forward neutrino program at the Large Hadron Collider has entered the era of providing the first measurements and observations. As it has notable connections to astrophysics and will complement the results and projections of key…
Invited talk at the EPS-HEPP meeting in Krakow, July 2009. My first thought, and presumably the default expectation, was that I'd talk in a general way about the grandeur of high energy physics and the exciting future we anticipate,…
The exploration of B-meson decays has reached an unprecedented level of sophistication, with a phase of even much higher precision ahead of us thanks to run 2 of the LHC and the future era of Belle II and the LHCb upgrade. For many…
