[14:30] Coast-to-Coast Seminar: Reading the Tea Leaves: What Lies Beyond the Standard Model?

Speaker: Dr. Cliff Burgess, McMaster University, Perimeter Institute

The turn-on of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will likely fundamentally change our picture of how nature works on the smallest of distances we can probe. This lecture reviews the case for why failure to discover something is believed not to be an option; and what the successes and failures of the Standard Model tell us about what is likely to be, and not to be, out there awaiting discovery. Most proposals fall into three main categories, whose broad properties are outlined. I close with my personal opinions about what will be found.

NOTE: due to the size and complexity of delivering cross-country seminars, we regret we cannot support desktop AG connections for the Coast-to-Coast seminars

If you are planning to attend this seminar, ensure you have registered using the link provided at the top of this announcement. AG rooms will only be opened for these seminars where someone has indicated they plan to attend, and it is critical that we be aware of significant attendees in case a larger room needs to be booked.
