The promise of LHC new physics!
Electroweak symmetry breaking (Higgs)
Stability and origin of electroweak scale (SUSY?)
But most of standard model has nothing to do with
electroweak symmetry breaking...
Second and third generation Neutrino masses
Exploring a new decade of energy look for even
unmotivated new physics
3
Old hat...
Look for particles with all possible
quantum numbers and production/decay channels
