Professor Rolf Heuer, CERN Director General , will be giving a lecture on 'The Search of a Deeper Understanding of our Universe at the Large Hadron Collider: the World's Largest Particle Accelerator' in Lecture Theatre 4, Heriot-Watt Edinburgh Campus on Wednesday 7 March at 3.45pm.


With the start of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, particle physics entered a new era. The LHC will provide a deeper understanding of the universe and the insights gained could change our view of the world, and the talk will present some of the reasons for the excitement surrounding the LHC. The LHC is expected to yield insights into the origin of mass, the nature of dark matter and the existence of hidden extra dimensions. This lecture will address the exciting physics prospects offered by the LHC, present the latest results and also a look forward.
