A1.00001: Higgs Boson and Beyond: The Big Questions in Particle Physics Invited Speaker: Mark Neubauer This year's Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to two theorists that predicted the existence of the long-sought Higgs boson particle, which was discovered by teams of physicists at the Large Hadron Collider. This is no ordinary particle---it gives mass to other particles and completes our best theory of nature called the ``standard model.'' Is this end of the story? Far from it, as the standard model is an incomplete description of Nature even with a Higgs boson now observed. In this talk, I will discuss what we know about this new particle and the open questions in particle physics, the pursuit of which might lead to big discoveries on the horizon. [Preview Abstract] |
