Abstract

This note reviews the main physics topics accessible with the high-luminosity LHC program (HL-LHC). It should deliver p-p collisions at s=14TeV with an integrated luminosity of 3000fb−1. Results are presented in perspective with the previous period with ten times less luminosity. The ATLAS and CMS collaborations released expected results for this program assuming similar detector performance as today within more difficult conditions. The Higgs boson branching ratios and couplings to fermions/bosons will be measured at few percent level. The main discovery limits for the search of new particles or phenomena beyond the Standard Model are presented.

Highlights

  • The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) [1] has delivered proton-proton collisions over the period 2009-2012

  • Most of th√e data have been produced at center-of-mass energies ( s) equal to 7 and 8 TeV for a total luminosity of 29 fb−1, out of which ∼25 fb−1 are usable for physics analysis by the ATLAS [2] and CMS [3] collaborations

  • The main physics outcome was the discovery of a Higgs boson at a mass of 125 GeV [4] [5] which is an important ingredient for the understanding of the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism

Summary

Introduction

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) [1] has delivered proton-proton collisions over the period 2009-2012. Most of th√e data have been produced at center-of-mass energies ( s) equal to 7 and 8 TeV for a total luminosity of 29 fb−1, out of which ∼25 fb−1 are usable for physics analysis by the ATLAS [2] and CMS [3] collaborations. Many limits have been set on the search of new particles beyond the Standard Model including supersymmetry and exotic models This period, called Run 1, is used as a reference for detector performance. Based on the current experience with data analysis at Run 1 and the expected detector performance during the 300 and 3000 fb−1 campaigns, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations have recently provided expected precisions on the measurements of the.
