Subject: David Kaplan to give special CCAPP Lecture 3/6/13

Dear colleagues:

We would be grateful for your help in advertising this special CCAPP public lecture.

This is a second talk on the LHC and the Higgs Boson, a tremendously important topic, and one on which groups in our department are playing important roles (see http://artsandsciences.osu.edu/hunting-the-higgs-a-physics-detective-story).

This talk is being organized by CCAPP in conjunction with a new faculty member in Physics, Prof. Linda Carpenter.

To emphasize two special points:
First, space will be limited to about 100 people.
Second, the talk and the audience will be filmed for possible inclusion in the speaker's documentary film.

Best regards,
John and Linda

The Ohio State Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics (CCAPP) is proud to present the following public lecture:

The Discovery of our (Space-)Time

Prof. David E. Kaplan (Johns Hopkins)

1:00-2:00pm, Wednesday 6 March 2013
Smith Seminar Room (1080 Physics Research Building)
Free, open to all, and intended for general audiences
http://ccapp.osu.edu/PublicLectures.html<http://ccapp.osu.edu/PublicLectures.htm>

The Large Hadron Collider, perhaps the greatest machine ever built by human beings, represents one step in a thousands-year-old quest to understand the nature of reality.  A chapter in this adventure was closed with the much anticipated discovery of the Higgs Boson last summer.  Its identification, and the measurement of its mass, has given us the first hint of what might be coming next.  The favored idea, supersymmetry, would be the first extension of Einstein's space-time symmetry in 100 years.  Will this be the generation to discover it, or is the information beyond our grasp?

David Kaplan is a professor of physics at Johns Hopkins University and producer of the upcoming documentary film Particle Fever<http://www.particlefever.com/PF/>.

Note: Documentary film crews will be present to record the talk and audience reactions.
