The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is running extremely well and its two general-purpose detectors ATLAS and CMS are collecting data at a much faster pace than expected. The LHC successfully concluded its 2011 proton run an the end of last month.

The ILC physics community is preparing for the results expected to emerge from the LHC, and there were many discussions about LHC results at the linear collider workshop held in Granada in September. In the ILC physics session on the first day of the workshop, Keisuke Fujii, associate professor at KEK, made a presentation entitled “Is Higgs enough? Or do we need something clearly beyond the Standard Model?”

“My answer to the question is: it is surely enough and we definitely need the ILC,” said Fujii.

Why would it be enough?

We haven't even found the Higgs, and you are asking that question? To read more, click here.
