Well they believed they would see supersymmetric particles at older colliders as well. The problem now is that the Higgs mass anchors the valid range for "natural" supersymmetric models. Last I checked most of those where ruled out now. That still leaves the problem that the Higgs mass is unexplained. So the obvious step is to do Higgs precision measurements, which is what they intend to do with electron-positron colliders tuned to the Higgs mass.
- H8crilA 7y agoThat is kind of my point. Thinking you can plan a successful confirmation of a theory is just bollocks and pure arrogance. It will either work or not, no way of knowing. We should still fund it.

It is important to understand that theoretical predictions with regard to particle accelerators are often massaged into making predictions that seem to coincidentally help justify the cost of the next big accelerator to politicians and nations.
