  8. Seminars & Colloquia
Saturday, March 29, 2014
4:00 AM
170 & 182 Dennison Building

Professor Kaplan will describe what is known about the laws of the nature of matter at the deepest level -- quantum field theory -- and what it 'means' to discover new particles. He will describe the structure of our current theory of nature, explain briefly the Higgs particle and phenomenon, and describe what sort of breakthroughs in particle physics we are pushing towards in the future.

Detailed Information
All talks are free and refreshments will be served. Visitor parking for the seminars (Central Campus) is across the street from the Dennison Building in the U-M Church Street structure. There is a $2.00 parking charge implemented by U-M Parking Services.
