Stanford University’s Friends of Physics invites you to an evening salon with Savas Dimopoulos, The Hamamoto Family Professor in the School of Humanities and Sciences Physics Department
“News from the Large Hadron Collider and Beyond”
Savas Dimopoulos proposed the supersymmetric standard model with Howard Georgi in 1981. This theory made a precise quantitative prediction, the unification of couplings, that has been experimentally confirmed in 1991 by experiments at CERN and SLAC. This established it as the leading theory for physics beyond the standard model. Its main prediction, the existence of supersymmetric particles, will be tested at the LHC. Dr. Dimopoulos will share news from LHC and discuss more recent ideas of new spatial dimensions and many universes (multiverse) and how to test them experimentally. The talk will be at a lay-person level so you are all invited to attend.
