List of Large Hadron Collider experiments
This is a list of current and proposed experiments that take place, or would take place, at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC is the most energetic particle collider in the world, and will be used to test the accuracy of the Standard Model (and particularly to search for the Higgs boson), and look for physics beyond the Standard Model such as supersymmetry, extra dimensions[disambiguation needed], and others.
The list is first compiled from the SPIRES database, then missing information is retrieved from the online version CERN's Grey Book. The most specific information of the two is kept, e.g. if the SPIRES database lists December 2008, while the Grey Book lists 22 December 2008, the Grey Book entry is shown. When there is a conflict between the SPIRES database and the Grey Book, the SPIRES database information is listed, unless otherwise noted.
