Abstract

The LHC is a particle ring accelerator and collider located at the border between Switzerland and France near Geneva, Switzerland at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). The purpose of the LHC is to provide high energy particle collisions between protons and/or heavy ions to experiments so that the SM, including the Higgs sector, can be probed and studied at these energies, and searches for physics beyond the SM can be performed.
