TL;DR
This paper discusses the challenges faced by ATLAS and CMS in early discovery of new physics at the LHC with 1 fb^-1 of data, focusing on specific analysis examples such as QCD jets, dileptons, Higgs, and supersymmetry.
Contribution
It highlights the key challenges and considerations in early data analysis for new physics searches at the LHC, emphasizing specific case studies.
Findings
QCD jet distribution deviations at high E_T pose detection challenges
High-mass dilepton pairs are promising for early discovery
Higgs search in WW channel and low-mass SUSY are discussed as case studies
Abstract
The challenges for a discovery of new physics with 1 fb^-1 of LHC data for ATLAS and CMS are discussed. Four specific examples are chosen: a deviation of QCD jet distributions at high E_T, high-mass dilepton pairs, Higgs search in the WW decay channel, and low mass supersymmetry.
