Particle Physics is a study of the smallest and the biggest to uncover the fundamental laws that govern the universe. In recent years, both the United States and Europe have been through long-range planning processes. The future plans worldwide include the studies of (1) neutrinos that may have saved us from a complete annihilation, (2) the Higgs boson that keeps us in one piece, (3) dark matter that assembled us from the primordial soup, (4) inflation that created the macroscopic universe, and (5) the exploration of unknown particles and forces. It requires development of mind-boggling technologies.
This is an open event. Everyone is welcome! Please note that in-person attendance may be subject to security or other considerations.
