About
From the Higgs boson to the search for new physics: the prospects for the LHC programme at CERN
Christmas lecture - in French, with simultaneous interpreting into English
The discovery of the Higgs boson, which was the subject of this year's Nobel prize for physics, has brought us the missing piece of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. However, many observations (such as the predominance of matter over antimatter in the Universe, the existence of dark matter observed by the cosmologists and even the fact that the Higgs boson has a relatively small mass) underline that our knowledge of the structure of matter and its interactions is incomplete. A wide-ranging programme of research spanning several decades to come thus awaits us at the LHC. Philippe Bloch will begin his lecture by giving us the latest news on the Higgs boson, and will then go on to explain how developments at the LHC and its experiments, which will resume in 2015, will explore these fundamental questions about our Universe.
Philippe Bloch is an experimental physicist. A member of the CMS experiment at the LHC, he is currently the Head of CERN's Physics Department.

Du boson de Higgs à la recherche d'une nouvelle physique : les perspectives du programme LHC au CERN
Conférence de Noël en français – traduction simultanée en anglais
La découverte du Boson de Higgs, couronnée par le prix Nobel cette année, a apporté la brique manquante au Modèle Standard de la Physique des particules. Mais de nombreuses observations (par exemple la prééminence de la matière par rapport à l'antimatière dans l'Univers, l'existence de la matière noire observée en cosmologie ou même la masse relativement légère du Boson de Higgs) prouvent que notre connaissance de la structure de la matière et de ses interactions est incomplète. Un important programme d'études s'ouvre donc au LHC pour les décennies à venir. Apres avoir donné les dernières nouvelles du Boson de Higgs, Philippe Bloch expliquera comment…
