John Iliopoulos: New Physics at the LHC

John Iliopoulos

• Yukawa's prediction of π meson
• Luminosity
• Atlas experiment
• Vertex detector
• NNLO (Next-to-next leading order) QCD

• Perturbation theory is remarkably reliable.
• Perturbation theory breaks down only when strong interactions become important. But new strong interactions imply new physics.
• A light Higgs is found.
• The Standard Model is complete.
• Large extra dimensions.
• No light Higgs is found.
• New strong interactions.
• Little Higgs.
• The Higgs boson is a pseudo-Goldstone boson of a new symmetry.
• The absence of a light Higgs implies new physics.
• But a light Higgs is unstable without new physics.
