Physics at the Terascale: on the verge of the LHC
Georg Weiglein (DESY)
Seminar Room 3, 15:00
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is about to start going into
operation, will open up the new territory of TeV-scale physics, where
ground-breaking discoveries and fundamental new insights into the
fabric of matter, space and time are expected. Present experimental
results from electroweak precision data and measurements in the
flavour sector show a sensitivity to TeV-scale physics via quantum
effects. Possible implications for physics at the LHC and a future
Linear Collider will be analysed. Furthermore, different scenarios
of physics of electroweak symmetry breaking will be discussed, and
the importance of precise theoretical predictions for identifying the
nature of TeV-scale physics will be emphasized.
