Good, but still lots we don’t know…
• Why are there three families of quarks and leptons?
• Why is the mass range so large (0.1mp – 175 mp)?
• How do matters acquire mass?
– Higgs mechanism but where is the Higgs, the God particle?
• Why is the matter in the universe made only of particles?
– What happened to anti-particles? Or anti-matters?
• Why are there only three apparent forces?
• Is the picture we present the real thing?
– What makes up the 96% of the universe?
– How about extra-dimensions?
• How is the universe created?
• Are there any other theories that describe the universe better?
– Does the super-symmetry exist?

ATLAS Higgs Search Strategy
• Use gg  H production
– MH<130GeV
• H  bb dominant decay
– High QCD background
• H   cleanest but low BR
• H  t t  with leptonic decays of t Small branching ratio
– 130GeV<MH<2MZ: H  WW * , H  ZZ *
– MH>2MZ: H  WW , H  ZZ , H  tt
• Use multi-lepton final state from decays of bosons
• tt final state dominated by QCD production of top.
• Use WH or ZH production at low mass (MH<120GeV)
– Use leptonic decay of bosons with two b-jets.

Golden Channels in Higgs Searches
• Higgs boson is a ramification of the mass generation mechanism  Highest
priority in HEP and the last standing mystery
• Higgs decays in to various final states

– Very clean signal w/ modest background
– Narrow mass peak

KoRIA, A World-class Accelerator Facility
• Future high priority high energy physics topics will require
even higher energy and higher flux
– Searching and precisely measuring the properties of SUSY
particles, dark matter, dark Energy and extra dimensions
– Massive detailed studies of quark-gluon plasma!
– Creating and accumulating anti-matters in mass!!
• KoRIA is a great starting point for establishing a versatile
world-class accelerator facility in Korea
• Attract large number of scientists and promote advancement
of accelerator related technologies
• Advance significantly the understanding the origin of the
universe and help the whole human race in the long run

So how can KORIA get there?
• The current KoRIA must be solidly established and carry out
its mission successfully
• A clear vision for the long-term future of KoRIA must be
established from the get-go
• Phased plan must be established to shape the future of
KoRIA even as the current KoRIA is being constructed
• Build up manpower through the strong collaboration with
existing labs, such as Fermilab and CERN
– Train domestically to increase technical manpower
• A stage for a historic future is set!
• Need to get organized now to make it happen in 30yrs!

Conclusions
• The LHC opened up a whole new kinematic regime
–
–
The LHC performed extremely well this year
•
1fb-1 expected but obtained over 5fb-1
•
Latest results on Higgs show some hints of its existence
We expect over 10fb-1 additional data expected 2012
•
–
We could find the Higgs particle this year or disprove its existence
In 2013 – 2014, an 18 month work on the accelerator toward the designed 14TeV
•
Linear collider and advanced detectors are being developed for future
precision measurements of Higgs and other newly discovered particles
• Outcome and the bi-product of HEP research impacts our daily lives
– WWW came from HEP
– GEM will make a large screen low dosage X-ray imaging possible
• KoRIA is a fruit of aspiration for excellence in basic sciences
– Need to plan now to shape KoRIA to its long term future and to realize the dream
• Strong US-Korea collaboration will help this happen
