Physics at the Tera. Scale Ø LHC will give access to Te. V energy

Physics at the Tera. Scale Ø LHC will give access to Te. V energy scale: expect ground-breaking discoveries: • How is electroweak symmetry broken? Higgs? Which one? SM and light SUSY-Higgs accessible • Does the top-quark play a special role in this? mass ~ scale at which ew symm. is broken • Why is m. W/MPl ~ 10 -17? many possible explanations involving New Physics at Te. V-scale • Dark Matter ~ 22% of the Universe: what is it? could be explained by New Physics at Te. V-scale Ø BUT: at LHC, very different New Physics can look alike experimentally : 4 th generation SUSY technicolor A complementary accelerator is needed to understand what the SM can’t explain Seminar, April 2009 Sonja Hillert (Stockholm) p. 3
