Welcome!

Exploration of physics at the TeV scale holds the promise of addressing some of our most basic questions about the nature of matter, space, time, and energy. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN will break into this new energy frontier when it begins operation next year and the LHC detectors will then begin their prospecting for gold.

The 2006 SLAC Summer Institute will focus on the physics and detectors of the LHC. In addition to the school lectures, there will be talks on recent results from particle and astroparticle physics, and poster and discussion sessions.
