Pauline Gagnon tells us here about the purpose and objectives of the experiments being performed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Nuclear Research Center (CERN) at Geneva.
Mostly people think that it is all about Higgs. That is very very partial answer. The overlapping possibilities, that might be discovered at LHC, are:
(1) Parallel Worlds
(2) Extra Dimensions
(3) As Many New Particles As We Already Know (or Supersymmetry)
(4) Origin and Fate of the Universe (She writes FAITH of the universe! Hope she does not change it.)
(5) Qurak-Gluon Plasma
(6) Origin of Matter Ant-Matter Asymmetry
(7) What is Dark Matter made of
And this is not a small order.
