| Publisher Description: This book provides a general description of the search for and discovery of the Higgs boson (particle) at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. The goal is to provide a relatively brief overview of the issues, instruments and techniques relevant for this search; written by a physicist who was directly involved. |
Contributor Bio(s): Castillo, Luis Roberto Flores: - Luis Roberto Flores-Castillo is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. He received his PhD from the University of Pittsburgh. His research is across high energy physics with a focus on: measurement of the properties of the Higgs boson; searches for dark matter particles; and searches for new high-mass particles including participation on the ATLAS particle physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. He received the Scientific Research Prize 2012 of the Mexican Physical Society. |
