The challenges for a discovery of new physics with 1 fb^-1 of LHC data for ATLAS and CMS are discussed. Four specific examples are chosen: a deviation of QCD jet distributions at high E_T, high-mass dilepton pairs, Higgs search in the WW…
These lecture notes discuss methods, recent results and future prospects in proton-proton physics at the Large Hadron Collider.
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 CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) started operation a few months ago. The machine will deliver proton-proton and nucleus-nucleus collisions at energies as high as sqrt(s)=14 TeV and luminosities up to L~10^{34} cm^{-2}s^{-1}, never…
