The start of the O(1 Te. V) L. C. • It is difficult to set a start date for a program that was in the back of at least 50% of particle physicists mind since at least 25 years. • I will arbitrarily set the start date at the Saariselka ( Finland ) meeting in September 1991. • It might be interesting to remember which kind of environment we were living in.

The study groups • Originally Europe, Japan and USA organized their own study groups. • After a while it was realized that a common framework was needed, and the LCWS was organized, with the aim of bringing together the regional groups to share experiences, results and …frustrations • This in my opinion was the starting of the global character of the effort. • Now here we are with a programs that carries the word International as a first name.

The Physics program : seeking answers the Te. V Scale The Te. V energy

The Physics program : seeking answers the Te. V Scale The Te. V energy region hold the promise of giving back answers to our quests. Origin of mass and electro-weak symmetry breaking Why such a disparity between mweak and m. Planck What is most of the matter in the Universe made of and more… The Tevatron is already at work to open a window into this regime. LHC will allow a (quasi) complete view on phenomena at the Te. V scale! M. Piccolo, Frontierscience, Milano 2005 Sept.

Will the LHC be enough ? • Although the LHC is the most powerful

Will the LHC be enough ? • Although the LHC is the most powerful research instrument ever built in our field, it does have limitations: • LHC detectors record about 10 -5 of the total cross section • Analysis will be carried out on 10 -10 of the total cross section. • No events balance visible longitudinal momentum. • Events with missing neutrals have unknown pt • High-purity b tagging, any charm tagging and t tagging is difficult • Most LHC analyses rely on a model. • They are powerful if the underlying assumptions are correct, not so powerful if wrong.
