Am Montag, den 11. November 2024, um 12:00 Uhr c.t., findet der nächste Termin unseres Physikalischen Kolloquiums in diesem Wintersemester statt.
Referent ist Prof. Dr. Thomas Müller (Karlsruher Institut für Technologie – KIT) zum Thema „CERN – 70 YEARS. FUNDAMENTAL DISCOVERIES WHICH LED TO OUR PRESENT UNDERSTANDING OF NATURE – A PERSONAL ACCOUNT“.
The foundation of CERN in 1954, planned as a project promoting peaceful research in
war-torn Europe, created the prerequisites of obtaining our modern picture of nature and
its fundamental processes. Many important discoveries made in the ensuing decades –
at CERN and in other labs worldwide – only led to collect more elements of the puzzle
of particle physics. To finally solve this puzzle and to prove (or disprove) the theory
which claimed to describe the fundamental forces and interactions, research at energy
scales beyond 100 GeV, or equivalently at distance scales of less than 10-18m was
mandatory. This could only be achieved with utilizing a novel concept of a particle
accelerator: the hadron collider which was introduced at CERN about 50 years ago.
This colloquium highlights three discoveries made at hadron colliders in the last forty
years which finally established the Standard Model.
