"Version: 20171001"--Title page verso.Includes bibliographical references (pages 19-20)1. Introduction -- 2. Background -- 3. Current directions -- 4. Outlook.Following the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, particle physics has entered its most exciting and crucial period for over 50 years. In this book, I first summarise our current understanding of particle physics, and why this knowledge is almost certainly incomplete. We will then see that the Large Hadron Collider provides the means to search for the next theory of particle physics by performing precise measurements of the Higgs boson, and by looking directly for particles that can solve current cosmic mysteries such as the nature of dark matter. Finally, I will anticipate the next decade of particle physics by placing the Large Hadron Collider within the wider context of other experiments. The results expected over the next ten years promise to transform our understanding of what the Universe is made of and how it came to be.Final-year undergraduates, new PhD students and early-career scientists.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Dr. Martin White is a particle astrophysicist and ARC Future Fellow at the University of Adelaide. He co-leads the GAMBIT collaboration, an international team of physicists and statisticians with members in Australia, Europe and the US, whose novel data mining software can test, for the first time, generic dark matter theories against 20 years of accumulated particle astrophysics data. He also performs searches for new particles and measurements of the Higgs boson with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, and has co-authored over 600 articles on high energy physics experiment and theory. He is a committed science communicator, with past work including lectures to UK secondary school students at CERN, lectures at the UK music festivals Latitude and the Secret Garden Party, and a BBC-sponsored touring show on the science of Dr. Who, produced by The Royal Institution of Australia.Title from PDF title page (viewed on November 18, 2017).
