Physics with ATLAS and CMS

Are there new symmetriesor extra-dimensions?

What is dark matter?

Where does mass come from?

The two big multi-purpose experiments at the LHC

Can we unify the fundamental interactions?

Hunting the Higgs Boson

What we expect and how we want to find it …

… to explain the origin of mass !

Where is it ???

SupersymmetryIs our world supersymmetric?

This may solve several problems of our Standard Model ...

We will discuss experimental challenges !

ExoticsThere are many other exciting possibilities for new physics ...
