SUMMARY:From Discovery to Characterization: New Results for the Higgs-like 
	Boson Discovered at the LHC
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Joe Incandela\, UC Santa Barbara\, CERN\nHosted by: T
	ulika Bose\nPoster: http://physics.bu.edu/posters/2013_Spring/09_Incandela.
	pdf\n\nPart of the Physics Department Colloquia Series.\n\nAbstract:\nThe L
	arge Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN near Geneva Switzerland has performed sp
	ectacularly well in its first major running period from December 2009 throu
	gh February 2013. Data of unprecedented quality and quantity have been reco
	rded for proton-proton collisions at energies of 7 and 8 Trillion electron 
	Volts – the highest energies man has ever obtained. In this lecture\, Joe
	 Incandela will give an overview of the decades-long\, worldwide effort to 
	construct and operate the LHC accelerator and the ATLAS and CMS experiments
	 that together represent the largest\, most complex systems ever built for 
	physics research. The scientific goals of the LHC program will be reviewed 
	with emphasis on the Higgs boson whose role in defining the structure and e
	volution of our universe is profound\, and whose unusual properties may hav
	e extraordinary implications. Highlights from the discovery announced July 
	4th will be shown but the emphasis of the talk will be on the most recent s
	tudies with much more data. This will be followed by a brief look at prepar
	ations\, expectations and hopes for future results in years to come. \n\nRe
