Dr. Lucian Harland-Lang, University College London, Title: Pinning down proton structure at the LHC and beyond
Abstract: While our current best understanding of particles and their interactions - the Standard Model - has been remarkably successful, it is known to be incomplete, and there is much about it that we still do not understand. By colliding particles at high energy, we can push our understanding of it into new regimes, and even discover new physics that lies beyond it. The LHC is the biggest and most ambitious scientific experiment ever devised and has the potential to test the limits of the Standard Model at an unprecedented level. It is also a proton colliding machine, and hence in order to do this we must first understand the structure of the proton with matching precision and accuracy.
