Introduction This particle physics

network explores the physics discovery potential at the Large Hadron Collider, LHC.

The aim is to pull together Nordic particle physicists, theorists and experimentalists, to seek new physics ideas, and to study the experimental signatures of new physics.

LHC Physics LHC is the main particle

physics commitment in the Nordic countries for the next decade

The high energy and luminosity of LHC offers unprecedented physics opportunities: exploration of the high energy frontier, and precise measurements of heavy quarks, W/Z etc.

New physics is bound to appear in the 1 TeV energy scale:

New Physics

• One or several Higgs bosons, observable at LHC below about 1 TeV. • Supersymmetry: supersymmetric particles• Extra dimensions

The Nordic Context Particle physics research groups are typically

small use network to create centers-of-excellence with both experimental and theoretical competence

Concentrate resources for supervision and training of research students and young researchers

Exploitation of LHC data: improve readiness for LHC data analysis in the highly competitive world-wide physics community

The Network Programme

SUSY scenarios: investigation of new decays

Extra dimensions and other new models Higgs sector CP violation in B decays, rare B decays,

top decays,...

NorFA supports the network for 2001-2003. Work proceeds in the working groups:

Network workshops twice a year, training courses for students
