Understanding Electroweak Symmetry Breaking: Past, Present and Future

by Prof. Patrick Meade (Stony Brook University)

The Higgs boson plays the central role in the Standard Model of particle physics and what we observe around us in our daily lives.  However, the Higgs is also at the heart of many of our deepest unanswered questions ranging from where do we come from to what is the ultimate fate of our universe.  In this talk I will describe how what we have learned so far about the Higgs frames these questions, and what our current and future efforts hope to shed light on.  In particular I will focus on how the interplay of observables at the LHC and potential future colliders may best be used to explore the mysteries surrounding Electroweak Symmetry Breaking.
