1. Physics with ATLAS and CMS Are there new symmetries or extra-dimensions? What is dark matter? Where does mass come from? The two big multi-purpose experiments at the LHC Can we unify the fundamental interactions? Exploring the TeV scale:

2. The Experiments / Proton-Proton Collisions How are the detectors designed ? What happens in pp collisions ? - Kinematics - - Cross sections - - QCD  Triggering, pile-up, etc. ATLAS CMS

3. Standard Model Physics at Highest Energies Top Quarks Gauge Bosons Electroweak Physics Jets

4. Hunting the Higgs Boson What we expect and how we want to find it … … to explain the origin of mass ! Where is it ???

5. Supersymmetry Is our world supersymmetric? This may solve several problems of our Standard Model... We will discuss experimental challenges !

6. Exotics There are many other exciting possibilities for new physics... Extra-Dimensions Extra-Dimensions Mini Black Holes Mini Black Holes Compositeness Compositeness 4 th generation quarks 4 th generation quarks New heavy gauge bosons (Z’, W’) New heavy gauge bosons (Z’, W’)
