I discuss LHC physics in the historical perspective of the progress in particle physics. After a recap of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, I discuss the high energy colliders leading up to LHC and their role in the discovery of these SM particles. Then I discuss the two main physics issues of LHC, i.e. Higgs mechanism and supersymmetry. I briefly touch upon Higgs and SUSY searches at LHC along with their cosmological implications.

This is a summary of the activities of the Physics at the LHC working group in the XIth Workshop on High Energy Physics Phenomenology (WHEPP-XI) held at the Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad, India in January 2010. We discuss the activities of each sub-working group on physics issues at colliders such as Tevatron and Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The main issues discussed involve (1) results on W mass measurement and associated QCD uncertainties, (2) an attempt to understand the asymmetry measured at Tevatron in the top quark production, and (3) phenomenology of warped space dimension model.

As the LHC prepares to start taking data, this review is intended to provide a QCD theorist’s understanding and views on jet finding at hadron colliders, including recent developments. My hope is that it will serve both as a primer for the newcomer to jets and as a quick reference for those with some experience of the subject. It is devoted to the questions of how one defines jets, how jets relate to partons, and to the emerging subject of how best to use jets at the LHC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The relativistic hydrodynamics together with the single-freeze-out statistical hadronization model is used to describe the mid-rapidity hadron production in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC. At the highest RHIC energy our approach gives a quite satisfactory global description of soft hadronic observables including the HBT radii. With the increased initial energy, from RHIC to LHC, we expect the saturation of the pion elliptic flow and the moderate increase of the correlation radii. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We consider the longitudinal hydrodynamic evolution of the fireball created in a relativistic heavy-ion collision. Nonzero shear viscosity reduces the cooling rate of the system and hinders the acceleration of the longitudinal flow. As a consequence, the initial energy density needed to reproduce the experimental data at RHIC energies is significantly reduced. At LHC energies, we expect that shear viscosity helps to conserve a Bjorken plateau in the rapidity distributions during the expansion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses the techniques used to select online promising events at high energy and high luminosity colliders. After a brief introduction, explaining some general aspects of triggering, the more specific implementation options for well established machines like the Tevatron and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are presented. An outlook on what difficulties need to be met is given when designing trigger systems at the Super Large Hadron Collider, or at the International Linear Collider. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), now close to completion at CERN will provide proton-proton collisions with unprecedented luminosity and energy. It will allow the Standard Model of physics to be explored in an energy range where new phenomena can be studied. This includes the validity of the Higgs mechanism, supersymmetry and CP violation. The machine presents a number of novel features discussed in detail below. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article offers information about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research or CERN between France and Switzerland. It notes that LHC offers a unique sociological study on how scientists make technical decisions, formulate opinions, and disseminate knowledge. It points out that physicists at LHC are under pressure and each of its experiment consists of various experiment components with no subgroup wants. It is also expected to achieve seven teraelectronvolts of record energies.

The article reports that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in france and Switzerland will be shut down February 11, 2013 for upgradation work. The repairs will begin immediately after the LHC switches off and hundreds of people will involve, who will work in working double shifts. Physicist will scrutinize the collisions which have already been detected.

We review the methods which have been proposed for measuring masses of new particles at the Large Hadron Collider paying particular attention to the kinematical techniques suitable for extracting mass information when invisible particles are expected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The ALICE experiment, currently in the commissioning phase, will study nucleus-nucleus and proton-proton collisions at the CERN large hadron collider (LHC). We review the ALICE heavy-flavour physics program and present a selection of results on the expected performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Anisotropic flow is recognized as one of the main observables providing information on the early dynamics in heavy-ion collisions. The large elliptic flow observed at the RHIC is considered to be evidence for almost perfect liquid behavior of the strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma produced in the collisions. In this report, we review our current understanding of this new state of matter and investigate the predictions for anisotropic flow at the LHC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article states that a post-mortem report has disclosed that the world's most powerful particle collider, known as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), will not restart prior to July 2009. The machine is located at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) near Geneva, Switzerland, and repairs may cost as much as the equivalent of 29 million U.S. dollars.

The article discusses the length of time it could take to do repairs to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) near Geneva, Switzerland. Project director Lyn Evans estimated the cost of repair at $13 million or more. Twenty of the facility's superconducting magnets sustained electrical damage shortly after the unveiling of the collider.

The article reports that the experimental project, Large Hadron Collider has been launched on September 10, 2008. It informs that the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) had assessed the safety of the whole project to their own satisfaction. It is stated that the launch has resulted in the popularity of high-energy physic among people.
