6. From the Tevatron to the LHC
Note: I think this section should have several contributors from all
directions so that we get synergy.
Authors: Arnaud Lucotte, Florent Chevallier, Reinhard Schwienhorst, ?

Content: 
- Summary of commonalities between TeV and LHC
Authors: 
 o signal signature
 o TeV SM single top is similar to LHC new physics searches in the top
sector

- Summary of differences between TeV and LHC
Authors: ?
 o low statistics search at TeV, requiring excellent signal-background
separation
 o high statistics precision physics at the LHC, requiring excellent
understanding of systematics

- Summary of how existing TeV analyses and procedures developed at the
TeV apply to the LHC
Authors: ?

- Summary of studies needed for LHC that can be done at the TeV
