Decoding the Higgs Boson: New Clues from the Large Hadron Collider: Decoding the Higgs Boson: New Clues from the Large Hadron Collider
- Robin Hayes (Nikhef/ATLAS)
Description
High-energy proton collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) recreate conditions that existed just a fraction of a second after the universe began. In this talk, we will explore some of the insights that can be gained from studying physics at such energies, focusing on our most recently-discovered fundamental particle: the Higgs boson. While studies of the Higgs boson at the LHC have so far revealed consistency with our governing theory of physics, several recent measurements demonstrate how we can use the existing LHC dataset to study the Higgs boson in new ways, achieving improved precision and performing creative interpretations. We will examine these new results and look at how we might delve still deeper in the future.
