Physics Group Meeting
The Second Run of the LHC
After a short introduction for non-experts to the LHC experiments, we can talk about prospects for the next run. In its broadest form the question open for discussion is whether we expect to discover something in the next two to five years or not.
Of course the question has both theoretical and experimental aspects. We will touch both and then focus on the one that the participants find more interesting. In particular we will review the difficulties that the theoretical paradigms predicting new physics at the LHC now face. On the experimental side we will list the current hints for new physics in the data and assess their chances of survival.
Given how broad the discussion topic is, I have preferred to give a few links that allow to follow LHC operations and results rather than a real list of references.
