Abstract:
Particle physics is engaged in a worldwide effort to deepen our understanding of key issues, from the origin of dark matter and neutrino masses, to the dynamics of electroweak symmetry breaking and of non-perturbative strong interactions. A wide landscape of facilities and experiments, in the laboratory, in the sky and underground, in addition to theoretical work, are mobilized in these efforts. In this landscape, collider experiments play a special role, and, with the current success of the LHC, are consolidating their unique potential to continue driving the future progress.
Biography:
Michelangelo Mangano graduated from Scuola Normale Superiore (Pisa, Italy), and held positions at Princeton University, Fermilab, and INFN Pisa, before joining CERN as senior scientist (1995). He co-authored over 500 publications, in theoretical and experimental particle physics. His focus is the dynamics of high-energy particle collisions, as a tool to understand the fundamental interactions and search for phenomena beyond the Standard Model. As a member of the CDF experiment at Fermilab’s Tevatron collider, he contributed to the discovery of the top quark. Since 2010 he leads CERN’s LHC Physics Centre, fostering the cooperation of theorists and experimentalists in the interpretation of the LHC data. Since 2013 he is engaged in the definition of the physics programme for a Future Circular Collider at CERN. Committed to outreach activities, in 1998 Mangano created CERN’s High School Teachers.
