TASI Public Lecture: The Higgs Boson: Is it Real?
Start Date: 6/13/2012Start Time: 7:30 PM
End Date: 6/13/2012End Time: 9:30 PM
Event Description
The Theoretical Advanced Study Institute In Elementary Particle Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder presents a public lecture on The Higgs Boson: Is it Real? by Michael Peskin, Professor of Physics Stanford University.

For more than 30 years, physicists have proposed that a particle called the Higgs Boson is responsible for generating the masses of all elementary particles. The Higgs Boson is called by some the ultimate elementary particle, by others, "the God particle." But what is this particle, actually? Why is it so hard to find? Does it really exist? Today, new searches for the Higgs Boson are being carried out at the world's largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland. In this lecture, I will explain the expectations for the Higgs Boson, describe the new experiments, review what we have learned so far, and speculate on how the Higgs Boson might become real.
