Description
The 2010 proton-proton LHC run has been very successful delivering an integrated luminosity in excess of 45 pb-1. This has allowed ATLAS and CMS to complete the commissioning of the detectors and to perform early measurements of key standard model processes. The inclusive production of particles, jets and photons, the observation of onia and heavy-flavored meson decays, the measurement of the W and Z cross sections and production characteristics, and the observation of top-quark production and decay constitute a set of measurements which form the base from which searches for physics beyond the standard model are being launched. These include first results from a number of searches for non-SM Higgs, supersymmetry, large extra dimensions and black holes. The seminar will review the physics measurements from 2010 and consider briefly what 2011 may bring. The phenomenal success of the early LHC physics program, achieved so quickly after LHC startup, is the result of a globally distributed scientific effort of unprecedented scale, suggesting a new paradigm in scientific collaboration; one in which significant numbers of scientists are no longer co-located at the host lab. The efficacy of a remote regional center, of which the LHC Physics Center at FNAL is an example, will be discussed in the context of the early CMS results.
