Abstract

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has opened up a new kinematic regime. Using high energy proton-proton collisions it is possible to search for hitherto unobserved particles and processes at the TeV scale. This paper describes search strategies for a range of exotic phenomena proposed within supersymmetry and other theories.

Highlights

  • Searches for physics beyond the Standard Model are made whenever a new energy regime becomes available

  • The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) allows searches for phenomena associated with multi-TeV energy scales

  • The Standard Model suffers from an arguably unnatural fine tuning of the renormalised Higgs mass. Theories which address this problem, such as supersymmetry (SUSY) [1], typically predict that new physics processes would be manifest at the LHC

Summary

Introduction

Searches for physics beyond the Standard Model are made whenever a new energy regime becomes available. The Standard Model suffers from an arguably unnatural fine tuning of the renormalised Higgs mass. Theories which address this problem, such as supersymmetry (SUSY) [1], typically predict that new physics processes would be manifest at the LHC. In this paper a selected overview of search strategies for different types of signatures is given. It is shown how the results can be interpreted in models of SUSY, extra dimensions [3,4,5] and string balls [6]
