**"The Outcome of the LHC Search for the Higgs Boson"

Tom LeCompte*

The idea that the universe might be filled with scalar fields to explain 
why fundamental particles are not all massless was born, and 
incorporated into the highly successful Standard Model of fundamental 
particles and interactions, nearly 50 years ago. Until this summer there 
remained one unconfirmed prediction of this model, the existence of a 
massive particle with the same quantum numbers as the vacuum: the Higgs 
boson. The confirmation or falsification of this prediction is one of 
the highlights of the physics program of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) 
at CERN. I discuss the recent experimental evidence for the existence of 
the Higgs Boson, concentrating on results from the ATLAS experiment.

This seminar will also open the physics sessions of the
CTEQ collaboration meeting, that the interested JLab community is
cordially invited to attend.  http://www.jlab.org/conferences/cteq/
