Tulika Bose, Ph.D., Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor of Physics, University of Wisconsin.
Our immense universe began at the unimaginably tiny quantum scale. To understand how matter formed, physicists collide subatomic particles. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN has produced many discoveries (including the Higgs boson), but there are limits to the range of data it can capture. Dr. Tulika Bose, who has been prominently involved in the work of the LHC, says “We really should be looking at new physics at a much higher scale. We need to go beyond the kind of energies we’ll have at the HL-LHC.” In this presentation, she explains the accomplishments of the LHC, its limitations, and the next exciting plans under consideration in this research.
