SUMMARY:A Theorist's Perspective on the Large Hadron Collider
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Matthew Strassler\, Rutgers University\nHosted by: Em
	anuel Katz\nPoster: http://physics.bu.edu/posters/2010_Fall/06_Strassler.pd
	f\n\nPart of the Physics Department Colloquia Series.\n\nAbstract:\nAfter m
	any years of design and construction\, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)\, th
	e world's most powerful particle accelerator\, has begun operations.  The L
	HC was designed to probe the energy scale and distance scale characteristic
	 of the weak nuclear interaction\, a force less appreciated but no less imp
	ortant to our lives than gravity or electromagnetism.  I will discuss the m
	ysteries that motivated high-energy physicists to build the LHC\, describe 
	some of the challenges of operating it and interpreting its data\, and exam
	ine its historical importance and scientific potential. In particular I wil
	l emphasize how theoretical arguments play a key role in this experimental 
	endeavor.
