2011 – recap Mike Lamont, LHCC 75 ns 50 ns Squeeze further Increase number of bunches 25 ns test Increase bunch intensity Scrubbing Reduce beam size from injectors Initial commissioning
All collected data reconstructed and many results on full samples LHC Performance LHC shows excellent performance First two years of physics Recorded 40 pb-1 in 2010 at 7 TeV + Pb-Pb Recorded 5 /1 fb-1 in 2011 at 7TeV + Pb-Pb 2012 – now restarted at 8 TeV Power of Grid: All collected data reconstructed and many results on full samples
2012 LHC schedule Q1/Q2 First Collisions Aims for year: ATLAS/CMS – need max luminosity many interactions per bunch crossing >15 fb-1 (3x 2011) LHCb – need seconds ! small number interactions per bunch > 1.5fb-1 ALICE – heavy ions First proton – lead collisions
Followed by long shutdown to move to ~14 TeV Mike Lamont, LHCC 2012 LHC schedule Q3/Q4 Proton-lead Special runs Followed by long shutdown to move to ~14 TeV

Standard Model Particles Higgs 101 1) The last undiscovered particle in the Standard Model Higgs Mechanism gives masses to the W & Z Higgs boson, spin=0 Electric charge 0 Standard Model Particles Chris Parkes
Higgs 101 Higgs Mechanism gives masses to the W & Z 1) The last undiscovered particle in the Standard Model Higgs Mechanism gives masses to the W & Z 2) The mass of the Higgs boson is not predicted The rate of production (cross-section) is predicted if you know the mass Higgs boson Mass = ? Chris Parkes
Higgs 101 It prefers to decay to the heaviest thing available BR 3) The Higgs boson has lots of possible decay modes It prefers to decay to the heaviest thing available Couples to mass But easier to find if low background rates Best channel changes with Higgs mass Chris Parkes
Standard Model Higgs ? 1) Black solid line below 1: excluded. Combination of many decay channels with FULL 2011 data sample 1) Black solid line below 1: excluded. Observed number of events less than would have if the Higgs had that mass 16
Standard Model Higgs ? 2) Black dashed line : expected if no Higgs Zoom in on interesting region 2) Black dashed line : expected if no Higgs Black solid > black dashed = hint of a Higgs signal 17
Standard Model Higgs ? Black line – ~probability of Higgs at that mass Sensitivity comes from ϒϒ channel ATLAS/CMS compatible New Tevatron result – also compatible CMS Expected exclusion 114.5 - 543 GeV CMS Observed exclusion 127.5 - 600 GeV 18
Narrowing in on the Higgs Black line – From Indirect Effects: top mass and (new) Tevatron W mass Yellow blocks – excluded by direct searches Indirect Effects: Prediction is from Electroweak results- W mass and top mass Chris Parkes

Supersymmetry (SUSY) 101 Propose new symmetry of nature: Supersymmetry Spin ½ Fermions (quarks, leptons) spin 0 boson superpartner Spin 1 Bosons spin ½ fermion superpartner SUSY not an exact symmetry Mass of SUSY particles ≠Mass of normal particles Since none discovered yet
SUSY Motivation 1. SUSY allows unification of the forces 2. SUSY cancels divergences in SM 1/Strength Log Energy GeV 3. Lightest SUSY particle (LSP) is candidate for dark matter Most models LSP is stable neutralino 4. SUSY provides a theoretical route to include gravity in “standard model”, and needed in string / M-theory SUSY: theoretically beautiful and convenient – but is it true ?
SUSY + Exotics Searches Summary ATLAS – many analyses with FULL 2011 Luminosity Optimal use of delivered data: Enlarge range of “experimental topologies” look at as many “experimental topologies” as possible Then make happy our friend theorists: translate results in constraints to large variety of models F. Cerutti - LNF-INFN

CP Violation in Bs → J/ψϕ 1 fb-1, LHCb-CONF-2012-002 Powerful analysis to look for New Physics Had been hints from TeVatron – but more precise LHC results give SM value Chris Parkes
LHCb LHCc LHCb was designed for b-quark studies But also ideal for studies of slightly shorter lived c quark, and 20 times more events CP Violation in charm sector (was) predicted to be very small in Standard Model < 0.1 % Bigger than this New Physics ! e.g. Chris Parkes
CP Violation: Problem 1 – Initial Condition Technical Scale Drawing of LHC Collision Proton (Matter) Proton (Matter) Start with matter and no antimatter Ending with more matter than antimatter is not a surprise Take difference in CP Violation between two decays Chris Parkes
CP Violation: Problem 2 – Detector +ve charge -ve charge CP Violation: Problem 2 – Detector Particles bend in magnetic Field So if matter goes to a +ve particle and antimatter to –ve Go to different parts of detector – can fake CP violation Take difference in CP Violation between two decays Reverse Magnetic Field Periodically Choose a symmetric decay Chris Parkes
