FSU Physicist, CERN Researcher Todd Adams Puts Technological Challenges of Higgs Boson Search Into Perspective

Associate Professor of Physics Todd Adams: (850) 345-7516 (cell): [email protected] A high-energy experimentalist and CMS collaborator, Adams uses data from the CMS experiment to search for evidence of new particles that could point to new, fundamental physics. He will be able to speak about the importance and meaning of the result and the technological challenges of one of the world’s most complicated experiments. He can also give background information about Florida State's extensive involvement in the CMS experiment.
