Scientific evenings
University of Nova Gorica invites to the lecture: "Hunt for the Higgs Boson with the ATLAS Detector at the Large Hadron Collider" by Prof. Dr. Marko Mikuž (University of Ljubljana and Jožef Stefan Institute).
Lecture will take place on Thursday, 13 December 2012 at 7 p.m. at the Lanthieri mansion in Vipava.
Lecture will be in English.
In July 2012 the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider issued a joint announcement of the discovery of a heavy boson with a mass around 126 GeV. Its measured properties appear consistent with those predicted for the Higgs boson, the last missing constituent of the Standard Model. In the lecture I will outline reasons for the close to 50-year time lag between the Higgs’ prediction and this year’s discovery. I will expose the impact of the discovery on our understanding of Nature and elaborate on the experimental challenges the newly discovered particle sets for the future.
