Departmental Colloquium

Speaker: Senka Duric Title: Electroweak and Higgs physics at the LHC: The present and the future Abstract: Contrary to all expectations, experiments at the LHC did not discover any fundamentally new particles other than the Higgs boson. However, a lot can be learned from precision measurements of Higgs boson properties and the production of vector

Speaker: Jamal Rorie (Rice) Title: Dark Matter, CMS, and the Search for Physics Beyond the Standard Model Abstract: There is compelling observational evidence for the existence of dark matter, but it is not currently included in the Standard Model of elementary particle and their interactions. The recently observed Higgs boson may interact with dark matter

  Speaker: Hsiang-Yi Karen Yang Title: Abstract:   Back to Colloquium Schedule

Speaker: Pinfold Title: Dirac's Dream - The Quest for the Magnetic Monopole Abstract: The elusive magnetic monopole is arguably the most important particle that has yet to be discovered. We shall follow the search for the monopole from its Victorian beginnings until today and discuss how we can continue into the future. We shall see
