Higgs Lecture

On July 4 2012, a fifty-year-old search ended: the elusive Higgs boson, the missing piece of the Standard Model of particle physics, and key to understanding why the universe is filled with atoms and molecules, and why the sun has burned long enough for life to have emerged, was found ...

Our understanding of the structure of matter is that protons, neutrons, and nuclei emerge dynamically from the interactions of more fundamental particles described in the Standard Model of particle physics. In this lecture, I will give a broad introduction to the field and an overview of the numerical approach to ...

Prof. Gian Giudice (CERN) will give the inaugural Higgs lecture. Abstract: After the success of the Higgs boson discovery, particle physicists are still trying to unveil the many mysteries related to this enigmatic particle. From its role in the world of particle physics to its unexpected connections with the evolution ...
