We are in the golden age of high energy physics
The discovery of the Higgs bosun at CERN, has opened up new possibilities regarding our understanding of the essential components of matter, while the LHC accelerator – which permitted this discovery – has entered into a new phase that will lead it to increase significantly the number of collisions between particles, permitting new frontiers in physics to be explored.
In order to explore these developments we shall be meeting Fabiola Gianotti, who in 2012 after 20 years of experiments announced to the world the discovery of the “God Particle”, and Fernando Ferroni who has worked on the experiments studying neutrinos and those with the LEP particle accelerator.
Introduced by
Giovanna Melandri, President Fondazione MAXXI
Speakers
Fabiola Gianotti, Director-General CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research
