SUMMARY:The Brout-Englert-Higgs Mechanism and its Scalar Bosons
DESCRIPTION:<div style="text-align: left;">Please join us for the David M. Lee Historical Lecture in Physics, "The Brout-Englert-Higgs Mechanism and its Scalar Bosons",</div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong><a href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/2013/">Dr. François Englert</a> </strong>of the<strong> </strong>Université Libre de Bruxelles and 2013 Nobel Prize Recipient in Physics </div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">"For the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider" </div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong>Abstract:</strong>  A consistent approach to short range interactions through massive gauge vector fields was proposed by Robert Brout and me, and independently by Peter Higgs. I shall explain our motivations for constructing this BEH mechanism which also gives information on the origin of elementary particle masses. I shall discuss its content and its use. I will comment on the ATLAS and CMS discovery at CERN of the scalar boson predicted by the mechanism. I will show how it confirms its validity and how it may have implications on structures at yet unexplored energies.</div><div style="text-align: left;" align="center"></div><div style="text-align: left;" align="center"><strong>Reception following lecture in the Putnam Gallery, Science Center 136.  </strong></div><div style="text-align: left;" align="center">In addition Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments and “Body of Knowledge” Exhibit will be open for your convenience.</div><div style="text-align: left;" align="center"><strong><em> </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: left;" align="center">Street Parking Available.
