Physics Searches at the LHCby David E. Morrissey, Tilman Plehn, Tim M.P. Tait - arXiv
With the LHC up, the focus of high energy physics will soon turn to an interpretation of LHC data in terms of the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking and the TeV scale. We present here models for new TeV-scale physics and their LHC signatures.
