Science Research Public Lecture Series presents, Putting the Higgs Boson in its Place: The Quest to Excite the Empty Universe by Melissa Franklin, Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics
In this talk Professor Franklin will explain how we search for new particles, like the Higgs boson, at the Large Hadron Collider, and specifically what we found at a mass of 126 GeV that we call the Higgs. She will discuss the accelerator, the ATLAS experiment, the evidence for the Higgs and prospects for new discoveries in 2015.
