'The Higgs boson. The God Particle?'

This will be a very exciting talk on one of the most fundamentally important discoveries in elementary particle physics. Heather will introduce the complex experiments that we use to study this particle and explain how we actually go about measuring its properties. She will also review what we currently know and don't know about the Higgs Boson, while focussing on some of its weird features. We'll conclude with a short discussion about what the Higgs boson might tell us about the future of the universe.

Speaker: Heather Gray, Lawrence Berkeley National Labs
