This month, a University of Adelaide scientist will give a free public lecture about the Higgs boson, the new subatomic particle that has been discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland. Dr Paul Jackson is involved in researching new particles at the LHC. Dr Jackson is a lecturer in high-energy particle physics at the University of Adelaide's School of Chemistry & Physics. He is a team leader of the Adelaide group for the ATLAS experiment (one of seven different particle detector experiments at the LHC). He is also a key member of the Australian Research Council's Centre of Excellence in Particle Physics at the Terascale. Dr Jackson will discuss the discovery of this new particle, why it's important, and the huge international teams that have been working to find it. Presented by the Australian Institute of Physics SA branch, Dr Jackson's lecture will be followed by a Q&A session. A panel of experts will be available to answer questions about the discovery of the Higgs boson and what it means for the Universe as we know it.
