Abstract
One of the main objectives that motivated the design and the construction of the LHC and of its general-purpose detectors, is the search for the SM scalar boson. Before the LHC operation, it was known from LEP and Tevatron results that the scalar boson mass had to be larger than about 114 GeV (CDF and D0 Collaborations, Phys Rev D88(5):052014, 2013, [5], OPAL DELPHI LEP Working Group for Higgs boson searches ALEPH L3, Phys Lett B565:61–75, 2003, [13]), while unitarity and perturbativity constraints limited it to about 1 TeV (Djouadi, The anatomy of electro-weak symmetry breaking - Tome I: the Higgs boson in the standard model, 2005, [10]).The physics motivations for building the LHC were obviously wider, and also covered among others the search for supersymmetry or dark matter.
