The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva (Switzerland) will go into operation in the coming months and will soon enable us to analyse the highest energy collisions ever produced at an accelerator. With a design integrated luminosity of up to 100 fb−1 per year and a centre‐of‐mass energy of 14 TeV it will not only allow us to probe the Standard Model beyond the TeV scale but also search for new phenomena such as the Higgs boson, supersymmetric particles, extra spatial dimensions etc. This article summarises a few selected analyses which are foreseen to be performed with the first 0.01 to 1 fb−1.
