Early physics with the ATLAS and CMS detectors at LHC
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva (Switzerland) will go into operation in the coming months and will soon enable us to analyse the highest energy collisions ever produced at an accelerator. With a design integrated luminosity of up to 100/fb per year and a centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV it will not only allow us to probe the Standard Model beyond the TeV scale but also search for new phenomena such as the Higgs boson, supersymmetric particles, extra spatial dimensions etc. This article summarises a few selected analyses which are foreseen to be performed with the first 0.01 to 1/fb.

Lepton Studies with Atlas and Cms Early Data
Leptons will play a key role in the first measurements performed by the LHC experiments. The ATLAS and CMS detectors are now built, and early estimates of their performance have been revisited. The expected first physics signals are described: they will shed light on the level of detector understanding and allow a control of the systematics uncertainties, opening the road to new and precision p...
متن کاملPhysics at Lhc
We review the physics to be investigated at LHC. We also describe the main parameters of CMS and ATLAS detectors.
متن کاملPhysics with Jets at the Lhc ∗
The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to study pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV and luminosity of 10cms. The GHz collision rate with 20 interactions per 25 ns bunch crossing places unprecedented demands on detector performance. This report will concentrate on jet physics anticipated from the two big general purpose detectors, a toroidal large hadron collider apparat...
متن کاملQCD and Top Quark Physics at the LHC
The expected performance of the ATLAS and CMS detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in QCD and top quark measurements is discussed, with a focus on the early data taking phase. Such processes are amongst the primary backgrounds in the searches for new physics, and thus must be understood very well before discoveries can be made. In addition, they serve as useful detector calibration cand...
متن کاملStandard Model Physics with ATLAS and CMS
The study of Standard Model (SM) physics is crucial at the LHC for several reasons. Before any discovery can be claimed a detailed understanding of the detectors should be reached and benchmark SM processes should be measured. A precise measurement of the various parameters is needed as a consistency check of the SM. Moreover, SM processes can be directly sensitive to new physics, they will all...
