“How to Produce a Higgs Boson?”
Professor Keith Ellis
University of Durham
The Fröhlich Lectures are presentations by research leaders which are intended to be accessible to a general audience at the advanced undergraduate level.
Abstract
The Higgs boson is, as far as we know, responsible for the mass of elementary particles, especially the electroweak W and Z bosons. However its production is dominated by QCD, the theory of strong interaction. I will give an introduction to QCD and describe the production and observation of the W, Z and Higgs bosons.
Refreshments will be served at 15.15 outside the lecture theatres
