‣LHC started running at √s=7 TeV
 starts in 30 March 2010
    • mid November heavy ion run
      will start, followed by yearly
      shutdown
    • aims to reach 1000 pb-1 at 2011
    • currently ~3.6 pb-1 delivered,
      ATLAS recorded ~96% of it

‣We are understanding the detector,
 and repeating the some of the earlier
 particle physics work

‣From 2013, LHC is to work at
 √s=14 (13?) GeV, with 100fb-1/year
 for a total of 300 fb-1

‣A brief summary of popular models:
     • Grand Unified Theories:
            - SM gauge group is embedded into a larger one like SO(10), to unify EW
             and QCD.
            - additional fermions and bosons predicted.
     • Little Higgs models:
            - spontaneously broken global symmetry to impose a cut-off ~10 TeV.
            - additional bosons and quarks introduced to cure the hierarchy problem.
     • Extra Dimensions:
            - Low Planck scale in d dimensional theory solves the hierarchy problem
             between EW and Gravitational couplings.
            - Excitations of SM bosons and fermions are predicted.
‣ These models do not exclude supersymmetry.

    New Scalars q=±2 lead to complex event topologies. SN 28 -AT In the present work, we consider the production and decay modes discussed above. The LA results will be presented as limits in terms of the couplings vL or vR , taking fixed reference S-2 values for the Yukawa couplings of the doubly charged Higgs bosons to the leptons. It will 00 then be a simple matter to re-interpret the results for different values of these Yukawa 5-0 couplings. We will assume a truly symmetric Left-Right model, with equal gauge couplings 49 gL = gR = e/ sin(θW ) = 0.64. Since the mass of the WR is essentially proportional to vR , predicted by: Little Higgs, LRSM as mentioned in the introduction, it will not be an independent parameter. We note that the existence of the Higgs triplet can also be detected in the decay channel ∆+ → W Z. This will not be studied here, as the signal is very similar to narrow produced as: pair via q-q annihilation & single via W fusion technicolor resonances which have been analyzed elsewhere [21]. the case of leptonic decays of the doubly-charged Higgs bosons decay via: lepton pairs golden channel and the background will be negligible (as for th 4 ).

    Summary 36 LHC has very rich discovery potential for (B)SM physics. •mostly published ATLAS results shown •ATLAS (& CMS) are currently taking data @ 7TeV Concentrated on a selection of discovery possibilities; •some models (e.g. micro BHs) not mentioned, •differentiation between models not shown, •boost to standard searches from BSM physics not shown. Some results with Fast MC were shown, •New analyses with full simulation ongoing for first 1fb-1, •Trigger aware studies immediately applicable to LHC data ? Next few years will be very exciting, stay tuned..

    38 Fourth generation quarks (doublets) • What is it? ➡ SM does not give #families => not a true modification ➡ predicts 4 new heavy fermions with 1TeV > m >100GeV • Viable? Leptons Quarks 2 1 mt mντ δS = − log − log 3π 3π ➡ PDG considers only total degeneracy mb mτ u c t u4 ➡ SM3 & SM4 have same χ2 from fits, d s b d4 ➡ CKM has enough room for 4 row/column ➡ SM4 can accommodate heavier Higgs νe νµ ντ ν4 e µ τ e4 • Desirable? I II III IV ➡ CPV source (for BAU) ➡ Alternative EW SymBreaking ➡ Fermion mass hierarchy ➡ DarkMatter candidate • Discoverable? ➡ Tevatron: ongoing; b-Factories: indirectly; LHC: Find or refute !

    BSM models: Exotics 39 ‣A brief summary of popular models: • Grand Unified Theories: - SM gauge group is embedded into a larger one like SO(10), to unify EW and QCD. - additional fermions and bosons predicted. • Little Higgs models: - spontaneously broken global symmetry to impose a cut-off ~10 TeV. - additional bosons and quarks introduced to cure the hierarchy problem. • Extra Dimensions: - Low Planck scale in d dimensional theory solves the hierarchy problem between EW and Gravitational couplings. - Excitations of SM bosons and fermions are predicted. ‣ These models do not exclude supersymmetry.
