W2.00001: Status of the LHC Detectors Invited Speaker: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will start operation in Summer 2008 at CERN. I will review the status of the experiments, and describe the presently-ongoing commissioning activities with cosmics runs. I will then discuss examples of physics measurements to be performed with the very first data in 2008-2009. [Preview Abstract] |

W2.00002: LHC Upgrade Paths Invited Speaker: Even though CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has yet to commence operation, serious plans are already being laid for its upgrade. It is expected that the first few years of LHC operation will elucidate the basic mechanisms for electro-weak symmetry breaking, and in doing so will lead to new questions of fundamental interest. Plans therefore call for a phased upgrade of the LHC, culminating in a ten-fold increase in its luminosity by roughly 2015. To make efficient use of this new discovery potential, the detectors at the LHC will also need to be upgraded. This talk will review the physics opportunities as well as plans for upgrading the accelerator and the detectors. The possibility of doubling the energy of the LHC will also be discussed.

W2.00003: Complementarity of the LHC and ILC Invited Speaker: Physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the International $e^+e^-$ Linear Collider (ILC) will be complementary in many respects, as has been demonstrated at previous generations of hadron and lepton colliders. This talk will address the anticipated interplay between the LHC and ILC in testing the Standard Model and in discovering and determining the origin of new physics, with examples from models of weak and strong electroweak symmetry breaking, supersymmetric models, new gauge theories, models with extra dimensions, and electroweak and QCD precision physics.
