DESCRIPTION:Join us for the final talk of the term by Dr. Lyndon Evans\, t
 he project leader of the Large Hadron Collider. The talk will start 6:45pm
  on November 29th at the Winstanley Lecture Theatre. As always\, the talk 
 is free to attend and open to all\, and light refreshments will be provide
 d before the talk.\n\nBio: Dr. Evans was the project leader of CERN's Larg
 e Hadron Collider Project and is one of the world's leading experts on par
 ticle accelerators and high-energy physics. His advice on the Super Proton
  Synchotron enabled the discoveries of the W\, Z and Higgs bosons at the L
 HC\, and he has played a huge role in the accelerator's consistent success
 . He was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society (2010) and appointed Com
 mander of the British Empire (2001) for his contributions. He was also awa
 rded the Special Breakthrough Prize (2013) and the Glazebrook Medal (2013)
  by the Institute of Physics. He is currently the director of the internat
 ional Linear Collider Collaboration.\n\nAbstract: The Large Hadron Collide
 r was designed to address some of the most profound questions facing us to
 day\, including the origin of mass and the subtle asymmetry between matter
  and antimatter that is responsible for our very existence. Some of these 
 questions will be discussed briefly followed by a description of the uniqu
 e features of the design of the LHC that has opened up a new energy regime
  culminating in its first major discovery\, the Higgs boson.
