The 2016 High Energy Physics Workshop will cover South Africa’s contribution to new discoveries such as new bosons.
The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has announced a number of excesses that point to new discoveries in 2016. These include new bosons and, possibly, the key to understanding Dark Matter in the universe. The relevance of these discoveries surpass that of the Higgs boson observed in 2012 and they promise to revolutionise our knowledge of fundamental interactions in Nature as we know them. South Africa is a leading participant in these endeavours, among other things, by being the first to postulate the existence of one of the bosons, leading to an overarching explanation of the excesses observed in the data.
This years’s High Energy Physics Workshop will cover South Africa’s contribution to these endeavours and will be attended by a large number of students.
