Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to the status of the results from collider experiments (as by February 2014). After going through some general aspects of collider physics, we briefly summarize the experimental results that are most relevant in the context of this thesis.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The LHC collides also heavy ions. Since the results of heavy ion collisions are not directly relevant for this work this possibility of the LHC is not further discussed here.

  2. 2.

    This scenario is challenged by the recent ATLAS bound on light charged Higgs bosons [34] as we will discuss below.

  3. 3.

    Note that not the full plane can accommodate for a Higgs at \(125.6\,\mathrm {GeV}\) and one can impose additional constraints by requiring the light Higgs to be in the experimentally allowed region.

  4. 4.

    However these limits depend on the model assumptions. Relaxing these assumptions, squarks can still be significantly lighter [39].

  5. 5.

    While finalizing this thesis a combination of Tevatron and LHC measurements of \(m_t\) became available [52]. The combined value is \(173.34\pm 0.27\pm 0.71\,\mathrm {GeV}\).
