High Energy Physics Seminar - Suyog Shrestha (CERN) - "The Final Testament of the Standard Model"

Suyog Shrestha (CERN) 1/29/20 High Energy Physics seminar speaker
January 29, 2020
1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
4138 Physics Research Building @ 1:00pm

Even though the Standard Model of Particle Physics has been a very well-tested theory, there are several phenomena that it does not explain. For example, why is there such a large asymmetry between matter and anti-matter? What is the nature of dark matter?  How does the Higgs boson interact with itself? In this seminar, I will discuss the results from the ATLAS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider obtained in the search for answers to some of these questions. More specifically, I will discuss how the recently discovered Higgs boson is being used to test rare predictions of the Standard Model for any potential deviation and subsequent insight into new laws of physics.
