About Program







This is part of its efforts to popularize science to the general public and students who are pursuing science as their career. TNSF attempt to focus on students on higher science as everyone knows that learning of science at college within the curriculum is not enough to acquire holistic knowledge of science at the appropriate time. Hence, to fill the gap between what students are acquiring through the curriculum and what it is required, TNSF is planning its activities on higher science to students who are pursuing higher education.


About the Lecture
The quest for knowing the origin of the evolution of the Universe has led to many technological breakthroughs during this excellent journey. This has led to the development of Standard Model theory, one of the most successful theories ever built. The proposal for the existence of the Higgs boson was made around 1970 and the discovery was made in 2012 by two most sophisticated detectors the CMS and ATLAS at LHC, Geneva, Switzerland. Subsequently, Nobel prize was given to Prof. Peter W. Higgs and Prof. Francois Englert in 2013 for for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles. The discovery has made a significant effect on the future of High Energy Physics. Prof. Behera will discuss how Prof. Peter W. Higgs theoretical discovery has shaped the future of High Energy physics and technological development to build the sophisticated accelerator (LHC) and detectors like ATLAS and CMS. He will elaborate on the contribution of Prof. Higgs to the building of the SM.

பிரபஞ்சத்தின் தோற்றத்தைப் பற்றியும் அதன் பரிணாமம் பற்றியும் அறிந்து கொள்வதற்கான தாகம் அதன் பயணத்தில் பல திருப்புமுனைகளான தொழில்நுட்பங்களுக்கு கொண்டுசென்றுள்ளது. இது இன்று நடைமுறையில் இருக்கும் முன்மாதிரி கோட்பாடு (Standard Model ) எனப்படும் கோட்பாட்டின் வளர்ச்சிக்கு கொண்டுசென்றுள்ளது. இது வரை கட்டமைக்கப்பட்ட கோட்பாடுகளில் இந்தக் கோட்பாடு மிகவும் வெற்றிகரமான கோட்பாடாகும். 1970 வாக்கில் ஹிக்ஸ் போசான் (Higgs Boson) என்பது இருப்பது பற்றி முன்மொழியப்பட்டு 2012இல் சுவிட்சர்லாந்தின் ஜெனீவாவில் இருக்கும் எல்ஹெச்சியில் உள்ள (LHC) சிஎம்எஸ் (CMS) மற்றும் அட்லஸ் (ATLAS) என்ற நுணுக்கமான காணிகள் (detectors) மூலம் கண்டறியப்பட்டன.
