Physics with ATLAS and CMS The two big multi-purpose experiments at the LHC Exploring the TeV scale: Where does mass come from? Are there new symmetries or extra-dimensions? What is dark matter? Can we unify the fundamental interactions?
The Experiments / Proton-Proton Collisions How are the detectors designed ? CMS ATLAS • What happens in pp collisions ? • - Kinematics • Cross sections • QCD • Triggering, pile-up, etc.
Standard Model Physics at Highest Energies Jets Top Quarks Gauge Bosons Electroweak Physics
Hunting the Higgs Boson Where is it ??? … to explain the origin of mass ! What we expect and how we want to find it …
Supersymmetry Is our world supersymmetric? This may solve several problems of our Standard Model ... We will discuss experimental challenges !
Exotics There are many other exciting possibilities for new physics ... • Extra-Dimensions • Mini Black Holes • Compositeness • 4th generation quarks • New heavy gauge bosons (Z’, W’)
