After a first successful operation of the LHC in September 2008, the 27 km long
Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN (Geneva/Switzerland) will begin colliding protons in 2009,
becoming the world’s highest energy particle collider. The main goals of the LHC are the search
for the Higgs boson, the last remaining undiscovered particle of the Standard Model of particle
physics, and the search for physics "Beyond the Standard Model (BSM)". Using a few
BSM searches as illustrative examples , I will talk about what we expect to see, what we might see, and
how we are planning do it.
