Outline  Introduction  Higgs Particle Searches for Origin of Mass  Grid Computing Effort  Linear Collider Detector R&D  Conclusions A Quest for the Origin of Mass Dr. Jaehoon Yu

Physics Department Colloquium Jan. 2007, J. Yu Introduction  The Standard Model of Particle Physics has been very successful u Tests done better than in some cases  But our quests for the origin of mass still continues  The Higgs particle seems to be deeply involved in it but… u We haven’t seen it yet and could be just around the corner u Have many thesis topics that need immediate attention u New and brilliant ideas for searches needed u We have been leading this effort in the DØ experiment and have developed new tools for Higgs search in ATLAS experiment u Will play a critical role in precision measurement of Higgs properties in the ILC  Work with top physicists at top HEP laboratories on top priority issues

Physics Department Colloquium Jan. 2007, J. Yu Linear Collider Detector R&D  Precision measurement tool for Higgs particle properties in the future!!! (Jacob Smith, Carlos Medina, Heather Brown)  Developing a precision detector using GEM  We play a leadership role ILC on beam tests and in a detector collaboration GEM’s sensitivity to X- rays allows for new imaging technology

Physics Department Colloquium Jan. 2007, J. Yu Conclusions  Exciting time and awesome opportunities u LHC opens up a whole new kinematic regime u Anything and everything that comes out of the experiments are new u Opportunities for s ATLAS Detector assembly, commissioning and Higgs search s Abundant Ph.D. thesis topics s Opportunity to carry out research in Switzerland u Precision Detector R&D to prepare for the future (the ILC) s Plenty of thesis topics s Exciting beam test experiments coming up in the next year or two  We are looking for good and ambitious colleagues who want to shape the particle physics in a new era u Come and talk to any of us in HEP group
