TL;DR
This paper discusses the potential physics discoveries from the Tevatron, LHC, and future electron-positron colliders, focusing on electroweak symmetry breaking and the Higgs boson, outlining the roles of these facilities in different scenarios.
Contribution
It analyzes the physics potential of current and future colliders in exploring electroweak symmetry breaking and Higgs boson properties, emphasizing the importance of a high energy linear collider.
Findings
LHC will observe a light Higgs boson if it exists.
If no light Higgs, effects of strong electroweak symmetry breaking will be detectable.
Future colliders are crucial for detailed Higgs boson studies.
Abstract
Any consideration of future physics facilities must be made in the context of the Tevatron and the LHC. I discuss some examples of physics results which could emerge from these machines and the resulting questions which would remain for a high energy collider. Particular attention is paid to the electroweak symmetry breaking sector. If a light Higgs boson exists, it will be observed at the LHC and the role of any later accelerator will be to map out the Higg's boson mass and couplings and then determine the space of possible models. If there is no light Higgs boson, then some effects of a strongly interacting electroweak symmetry breaking sector will be observed at the LHC and I discuss the role of a high energy linear collider in exploring this scenario.
