High transverse momentum physics at the large hadron collider

Summary, in English

This note summarizes many detailed physics studies done by the ATLAS

and CMSCollab orations for the LHC, concentrating on processes involving the production

of high mass states. These studies show that the LHC should be able to elucidate

the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and to study a variety of other topics

related to physics at the TeV scale. In particular, a Higgs boson with couplings given

by the Standard Model is observable in several channels over the full range of allowed

masses. Its mass and some of its couplings will be determined. If supersymmetry is

relevant to electroweak interactions, it will be discovered and the properties of many

supersymmetric particles elucidated. Other new physics, such as the existence of massive

gauge bosons and extra dimensions can be searched for extending existing limits

by an order of magnitude or more.
