[Theory-seminars] Physics/CTEQ seminar at 11am today

[Alberto Accardi]

Dear all,

we have a special Physics/CTEQ seminar today at 11am, which will also
kick off the CTEQ collaboration meeting (
https://www.jlab.org/indico/conferenceDisplay.py?ovw=True&confId=31 ).
You are warmly invited to both events!

"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.


Best regards,

    Alberto
