Abstract:
Physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the International e+e-
Linear Collider (ILC) will be complementary in many respects, as has
been demonstrated at previous generations of hadron and lepton colliders.
This report addresses the possible interplay between the LHC and ILC in
testing the Standard Model and in discovering and determining the origin
of new physics. Mutual benefits for the physics programme at both
machines can occur both at the level of a combined interpretation of
Hadron Collider and Linear Collider data and at the level of combined
analyses of the data, where results obtained at one machine can directly
influence the way analyses are carried out at the other machine. Topics
under study comprise the physics of weak and strong electroweak symmetry
breaking, supersymmetric models, new gauge theories, models with extra
dimensions, and electroweak and QCD precision physics. The status of the
work that has been carried out within the LHC / LC Study Group so far is
summarised in this report. Possible topics for future studies are
outlined.
