Jon Butterworth: Smashing Physics - News from the energy frontier
3 June 2014The discovery of the Higgs boson made headlines around the world. Two scientists, Peter Higgs and François Englert, whose theories predicted its existence, shared a Nobel Prize. The discovery was the culmination of the largest experiment ever run, the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. But what really is a Higgs boson and what does it do? How was it found? And what will the LHC do next? Jon Butterworth, a leading member of the ATLAS experiment, will talk about all this and more.Professor Jon Butterworth is also Head of the Department of Physics & Astronomy at UCL, and writes for the Guardian.
