Event Details

The discovery of the Higgs particle in 2012 was the end of one story and the beginning of a new one. While the Higgs particle was long-expected and aggressively sought, its discovery and the measurement of its properties leaves us with a clear set of frustrating questions that set the stage for the discoveries of the coming decades. In this talk, I will review the motivation for the existence of the Higgs particle, discuss how one produces and identifies this elusive particle, and motivate next steps not only in the study of the Higgs but in the wider context of what we want to know about the universe.
