Introduction
We are very glad to announce that APCTP 2009 LHC Physics Workshop at Korea
will be held on 25-27 August, 2009, at Konkuk University, Seoul, Korea.
Under the auspice of APCTP,
one of the internationally recognized research agencies located in Asia,
this workshop would serve as the launching pad
for organizing the efforts of Korean high energy physicists
to contribute to the scientific objectives of LHC.

Rationale
The LHC is almost complete, and the first running of the LHC would be done in 2009. The international experimental collaborations such as CMS and ALICE are preparing to perform one of the most desired and anticipated high energy physics experiments that can be foreseen within the forthcoming decades. The experiments at LHC are such a rare opportunity for the high energy communities around world, including Korea as well.
It is our purpose to continue this workshop annually to review the activities of Korean scientists working at the LHC, under the sponsorship of APCTP to make it officially recognized and supported by the community at large. Also, through the proposed workshop a number of key figures in the organizational body of CERN will be invited to Korea and be shown the Korean activities with regards to high energy experiments, especially at LHC. The proposed workshop will serve as a platform for promoting the international relationship between Korean high energy communities and world leading organizations of the sort. The workshop will be a continuation of the 2008 LHC Physics Workshop at Korea. The formal structure of the workshop would be similar to the 2008 one. The first session will be given to talks and presentations by some key figures from the organizational body of CERN. One of them will be Prof. Pauss (ETH), who is one of the strongest candidates for the next director general of CERN. The second session is the central part of the workshop. It will be divided into two sub-sessions, one for CMS and the other for ALICE.
The Korea CMS experiment team and the Korea ALICE experiment team will present respectively what they have done and what will they do. For example, the Korea CMS experiment team will talk on such subjects as heavy ion physics, beyond-SM physics, DAQ project, muon reconstruction, and RPC status. The Korea ALICE experiment team will give similar talks.
