Dr Paul Jackson will discuss the discovery of the Higgs boson, why it's important, and the huge international teams that have been working to find it.

Dr Jackson is involved in researching new particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). He is a lecturer in high-energy particle physics at the University of Adelaide's School of Chemistry & Physics, a team leader of the Adelaide group for the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, and is a key member of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Particle Physics at the Terascale.

The 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.

This event is presented by the Australian Institute of Physics SA branch.
