Some of you may be interested in this. There’s a public lecture about the Higgs Boson.
… invite to a public lecture to celebrate the 2013 Nobel Prize for Physics. This year, the prize was awarded jointly to Peter Higgs and François Englert “for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider.”
To celebrate the occasion, the Victorian branch committee has organised a lecture to be delivered by Prof. Raymond Volkas (Uni. Melbourne). In addition, we have assembled a panel of theorists and experimentalists, to offer a diverse and interactive forum for the physics community, as well as the community at large.
The public lecture and panel will be held at:
Date: Thursday 7 November
Time: 6pm
Venue: Elizabeth Murdoch Theatre A, The University of Melbourne
No bookings are required to attend the public lecture and panel. Following the conclusion of the panel, the committee and speakers will have dinner at a local restaurant. For organisation purposes, if you wish to attend the dinner, members are kindly asked to RSVP to the Honorary Secretary (kent.wootton@synchrotron.org.au).
