Physics Goals
The main goals of the experiment are:
- to explore physics at the TeV scale
- to discover the Higgs boson
- to look for evidence of physics beyond the standard model, such as supersymmetry, or extra dimensions
- to study aspects of heavy ion collisions.
The ATLAS experiment, at the other side of the LHC ring is designed with similar goals in mind, and the two experiments are designed to complement each other both to extend reach and to provide corroboration of findings.
