The book gathers the lecture notes of the Les Houches Summer School
that was held in August 2011 for an audience of advanced graduate
students and post-doctoral fellows in particle physics, theoretical
physics, and cosmology, areas where new experimental results were
on the verge of being discovered at CERN. Every Les Houches School
has its own distinct character. This one was held during a summer
of great anticipation that at any moment contact might be made with
the most recent theories of the nature of the fundamental forces
and the structure of space-time. In fact, during the session, the
long anticipated discovery of the Higgs particle was announced. The
book vividly describes the fruitful and healthy "schizophrenia"
that is the rule among the community of theoreticians who have
split into several components: those doing phenomenology, and those
dealing with highly theoretical problems, with a few trying to
bridge both domains. The lectures by theoreticians covered many
directions in the theory of elementary particles, from classics
such as the Supersymmetric Standard Model to very recent ideas such
as the relation between black holes, hydrodynamics, and
gauge-gravity duality. The lectures by experimentalists explained
in detail how intensively and how precisely the LHC collider has
verified the theoretical predictions of the Standard Model,
predictions that were at the front lines of experimental discovery
during the 70's, 80's and 90's, and how the LHC is ready to make
new discoveries. They described many of the ingenious and
pioneering techniques developed at CERN for the detection and the
data analysis of billions of billions of proton-proton collisions.
