Event Description
Data collected during 2011 and 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
at CERN in Switzerland, the world’s highest-energy proton collider, has
culminated in the discovery of a new particle that is about 135 times
heavier than a proton. But is it really the Higgs particle predicted by
the theory that explains the origin of the mass of most elementary
particles in the universe? The discovery and its possible identity will
be discussed by these two Brookhaven Lab physicists with deep roots in
the hunt for the Higgs.
The talk is free and open to the public. |
