Advanced technology at the LHC of CERN: Higgs boson and more

by Prof. Lucio Rossi (High Luminosity LHC Project Leader, CERN, IEEE – Council of Superconductivity Distinguished Speaker 2013)

Tuesday 19 Nov 2013, 10:30 → 12:00 Asia/Tokyo

RIBF Bldg. 2F Coference room (RIKEN Wako)

The CERN’s Large Hadron Collider is the largest scientific instruments ever built: based on advanced technology, like high field superconducting magnets and superfluid helium, it has allowed the discovery the Higgs boson, a cornerstone in our knowledge of the universe. New more advanced superconducting technology is under development to extend the LHC physics reach, thanks to an upgrade in luminosity in the next decade and, possibly, an energy upgrade on the horizon 2030s. The talk will address the link between advanced technology and frontiers of our knowledge and possible route to go beyond the limits of today particle physics.
