Dear all, please join us for the following: Speaker: Michael Krämer (RWTH Aachen) Wednesday 23rd October 2013 Ludwigstr.31 Room E021 Time: 6 to 8 pm Title: Searches for the Higgs and new physics at the Large Hadron Collider Abstract: I will review the physics of the Large hadron Collider LHC, including the recent discovery of a Higgs particle, and the search for new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. While the talk focusses on the physics, I will also mention various philosophical questions which are being addressed in the context of an interdisciplinary research group on the "Epistemology of the LHC".
