Title: And then there was MASS: from the Higgs to the Unknown

Abstract:

In 2012, noted physicist Joe Incandela rocked the world by announcing a historic discovery: a new particle resembling the long-sought Higgs boson. This lecture—presented by the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Physics and Astronomy and the PITTsburgh Particle physics, Astrophysics, and Cosmology Center (PITT PACC)—will offer a unique insider view of the Large Hadron Collider, the quest for the Higgs, its profound role in defining the structure and evolution of our universe, what recent data has shown and implications for the future.
