DESCRIPTION:Professor Peter Higgs played a key role in the development of 
 the Standard Model\, our current theory of fundamental physics.  The searc
 h for the Higgs Boson is the centrepiece of the LHC programme at CERN\, an
 d the existence of this famously elusive particle is likely to be confirme
 d or refuted with data currently being collected\, using apparatus partly 
 designed at Bristol.\n\nProfessor Higgs will introduce the ideas of sponta
 neous symmetry breaking\, and discuss how these developed from their appli
 cation in condensed matter through the earlier work of Yoichiro Nambu and 
 Jeffrey Goldstone\, to the work of Robert Brout\, Francois Englert and him
 self in 1964.  The subsequent application of these ideas to electroweak th
 eory will be discussed briefly.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay
