Undergraduate STEM Research Seminar: Dr. Kenneth Long, MIT
The first Undergraduate STEM Research Seminar of the semester will be this Monday at 4pm in Bruner Hall 210 (with snacks served at 3:30pm). Our speaker is a TTU alumnus, now a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT, who was closely involved in a recent highly-anticipated result from the CMS collaboration associated with the effort to find missing elements in the fundamental physics “periodic table”, which is called the Standard Model. In his talk Measuring the mass of the W boson: a portrait of a complex measurement at the Large Hadron Collider, Dr. Long will explain how this experiment was performed and provide context to understand why the result is so interesting scientifically. These seminars are geared for undergraduates from any STEM major, but graduate students and faculty are also encouraged to attend!
