SUMMARY:The Future of Physics: challenges and opportunities at the Large Ha
	dron Collider
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Robert Aymar\,  Director General\, CERN\nHosted by: L
	awrence Sulak\nPoster: http://physics.bu.edu/internal//posters/2008_Spring/
	08_Aymar.pdf\n\nPart of the Physics Department Colloquia Series.\n\nABSTRAC
	T: A corner stone of the Standard Model of particle physics has escaped exp
	erimental verification:  the "Higgs" process that generates mass.  In the a
	bsence of the Higgs\, many theoretical extensions have been proposed\, such
	 as supersymmetry\, technicolor\, and extra dimensions of space. At the LHC
	\, starting this summer\, these hypotheses will be confronted by experiment
	; indeed they all may be insufficient to describe reality\, opening the doo
	r to more discoveries.\n\nThe LHC will be described\, showing its size and 
	complexity.  I will emphasize the three pillars of the project – the 
	accelerator\, the detectors and grid-computing  – as well its most sa
	lient feature: the cooperation between the worldwide particle physics commu
	nity to achieve what will become the best human paradigm for future interna
	tional collaboration in science.
