SPECIAL HIP SEMINAR: CHRIS QUIGG (FERMILAB)

Chris Quigg: Distinguished Scientist Emeritus at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, physicist, author, and lecturer https://chrisquigg.com/ .

Thursday 11 June 2026 at 14:15 in CK112 (Exactum) and using Zoom (Note unusual time and place!)

Chris Quigg (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, USA)

Title: Perspectives and Questions: Toward an Expansive Agenda for Particle Physics

Abstract: Global celebration greeted the 2012 discovery at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider of a particle that matches the textbook description of the Higgs boson. That achievement validated a remarkable chain of theoretical reasoning that combined the prescriptive notion of electroweak gauge symmetry with a simple, but ad hoc, embodiment of spontaneous symmetry breaking. It was enabled by generational triumphs of accelerator art and experimental technique, and by human resourcefulness and collaboration on a global scale, all sustained by the enlightened support of many governments and institutions. Some imagine that, once the keystone of the standard model of particle physics has been set, our subject is over. Others worry that we may be at an impasse because no comparable wonders have appeared, leaving us without well-defined clues to a more complete paradigm. I do not share the self-assurance that prompts the first group to speak for nature, for the essence of science is doubt, and curiosity, and humility. Nor am I so easily discouraged: our description of nature is incomplete, and we have so much more to learn! This seminar will survey many questions that, taken together, constitute an inspiring array of opportunities to enhance our understanding of the physical world.

Abstract: This thesis presents the dosimetric characterization of a neutron irradiation facility developed for neutron detector calibration at the Kumpula Accelerator Laboratory. Monoenergetic neutron fields were produced using the 7Li(p,n)7Be reaction, and their dose rates, fluence rates, energy spectra, and neutron yields were experimentally measured and compared with simulations.
