Particle Factories, Accelerator Physics and future TeV scale colliders
The key LHC operating parameters and their impact on potential performance are recalled and a brief summary of the 2010 beam commissioning program is presented. Progress in 2011 has been good and the present performance is discussed. The short and medium term plans and their potential are outlined. Longer term options are touched upon briefly.

LHC Physics and Tevatron Results
The ATLAS experiment has been collecting ~35 pb-1 of collision data at a center of mass energy of 7 TeV in 2010. In addition several hundred of pb-1 have been recorded in 2011 so far. After an introduction to the ATLAS experiment, its detector and operations, an overview of the physics results using both 2010 and early 2011 data will be given.

LHC Physics and Tevatron Results
The search for the Higgs boson and the study of the heaviest known fundamental particle, the top quark, have been at the center of the Tevatron research program. The Higgs boson is yet to be discovered and the top quark was discovered in 1995. Both of these particles have a very special place in the "periodic table" of fundamental particles. With Tevatron having collected a lot of data and the...

LHC Physics and Tevatron Results
We present early results of the CMS experiment from PbPb collisions at $srqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV, probing quark and gluon matter at unprecedented values of energy density. The capabilities of the CMS apparatus allows us to investigate various hard probes, as well as bulk particle production and collective phenomena, using the calorimetry, muon and tracking systems covering a large range in...

T2K (Tokai to Kamioka) is a long-baseline neutrino-oscillation experiment using intense neutrino beam from J-PARC, and Super-Kamiokande detector at a distance of 295km. The primary goal of T2K is a complete understanding of the neutrino mass
matrix, especially, discovering of the last unknown angle theta_13. The physics data taking started in January 2010. In the talk, current status of the...

LHC Physics and Tevatron Results
After the successful 2010 LHC run, where the ATLAS detector recorder 45\$mathrm{pb^{-1}}$ of proton-proton collision data with 93.6\% data taking efficiency and during the recent LHC shutdown period, ATLAS performed vital maintenance and improvements on the various sub-detectors. Maintenance on the Muon Spectrometer included repairs on the readout system as well as updates and leak checks in...

LHC Physics and Tevatron Results
We give an overview of the most recent results on top quark properties and interactions, obtained using data collected with the CMS experiment during the years 2010-2011 at 7 TeV center-of-mass energy. Measurements are presented for both the inclusive top pair production cross section, using the dilepton, lepton+jets, hadronic and tau channels, as well as for various differential cross...

Since the start of data-taking in 1999, the Belle experiment has produced prolific amount of new physics results in the heavy-flavor physics and CP violations. In this talk, we present the recent physics results from Belle, in particular in the decays of B and Bs mesons as well as some new results in the bottomonium spectroscopy. We will also talk about the prospects of the Belle-II experiment.

The physics case of the LHCb experiment will be introduced after a short description of the present flavour physics and CP violation physics landscape. An overview of the experiment will then be given, with a special emphasis on the detector and trigger performance. A selection of the main results of the LHCb collaboration, based on 2010
data and the currently available statistics recorded...

LHC Physics and Tevatron Results
With the LHC collecting first data at 7 TeV, plans are already advancing for a series of upgrades leading eventually to about five times the LHC design-luminosity some 10 years from now in the high luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) project. The goal is to extend the data set from about 300 fb-1 proposed for LHC running to 3000 fb-1 by around 2030. Coping with the high instantaneous and integrated...

The SuperB experiment is a next generation Super Flavour Factory
expected to accumulate 75ab^-1 of data at the Y(4S) in five years of nominal running, and will be built at the recently established Cabibbo Laboratory on the outskirts of Rome. In addition to running data at the Y(4S), SuperB will be able to accumulate data from the psi(3770) up to the Y(6S). A polarized electron beam enables...

Particle Factories, Accelerator Physics and future TeV scale colliders
New accelerator technology is required if we are to reach centre of mass energies much beyond 1 TeV in electron-positron collisions, in order to explore the new physics that is expected to be discovered at the LHC. CLIC, the Compact linear Collider, uses a novel two beam acceleration scheme, where energy is transferred from a high-current low energy electron drive beam at high gradient (100...

The CERN axion helioscope CAST will be presented, along with its results and the achievements reached so far. In addition to the inspiring direct solar axion search, the recently arisen new perspectives towards searching for particle candidates from the Hidden sector (‘paraphotons’) and also for the dark energy in cosmos (‘chameleons’), both of solar origin, will be presented; their detection...

LHC Physics and Tevatron Results
Existence of the fourth family follows from the basics of the standard model (SM) and the actual mass spectrum of the third family fermions. During the last two decades, the fourth SM family studies were almost blocked by incorrect interpretation of the precision electroweak data. Despite to the studies done 10 years ago this misinterpretation continued to have a place in Particle Data Group...

The achievement of colliding hadron beams with multi-TeV energy/unit charge at the LHC is already exposing the nature of physics in quark-quark, quark-gluon and gluon-gluon interactions at the “Terascale”. The Standard Model (SM) is the gauge with which we identify and establish observation of physics at the smallest distances. Its precise quantification remains therefore pivotal to discovery,...
