Abstract

The main tasks of the LHC are to answer the fundamental questions in particle physics: whether the Higgs boson exist or not; are there new physics beyond the SM such as supersymmetry (SUSY), extra dimension, etc., at the TeV scale? The first stage of the LHC has discovered a scalar resonance closely resembling the SM Higgs boson, but provides no clue on the new physics beyond the SM.

Notes

  1. 1.

    We remind that the single top production discussed in the last chapter contains a top and a jet in the final state.
