Title: Physics at Colliders

Lecturer: Dr Karl Jakobs

Date and Times: 1st August at 11:15 2nd August at 10:15 3rd August at 10:15 3rd August at 11:15

Summary of the proposed talk: Present and future hadron colliders play an important role in the investigation of fundamental questions of . After an introductory lecture, tests of the Standard Model and measurements of its parameters (like the mass of the ) at hadron colliders are presented. In addition, it will be discussed how the can be searched for at hadron colliders and how "New Physics", i.e. physics beyond the Standard Model, can be explored. Results are presented from the currently ongoing run at the Tevatron collider at the US research lab . In addition, the rich physics potential of the experiments at the CERN is discussed.
