In an entirely new energy range and with its special experimental conditions, the LHC could also discover other new physics effects.
Read article 'LHC workshop studies new physics'
With construction work for CERN's LHC and its big detectors under way a workshop, Standard Model Physics at the LHC, was held at CERN.
Read article 'Looking for Higgs and supersymmetry'
Some of the most compelling questions in particle physics today are to do with the Higgs boson and supersymmetry (SUSY).
Read article 'Is spacetime symmetric?'
Do particles and their antiparticles behave in the same way? Even tiny differences could be amplified over astronomical distances to produce very large effects.
Read article 'Linear collider physics: the next challenge'
While CERN's LHC proton collider is the world's major particle physics project, other avenues of research could yield complementary studies. Here, David Miller looks at the possibilities for a linea...
