Science Colloquium - Using the Higgs Boson to Search for new Physics at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research)

This talk will introduce summer research with CERN’s ATLAS experiment on the rare Higgs boson decay search H → Za, where the Higgs may decay into a Z boson and a possible new light particle that produces two photons. Learn how detector data, particle reconstruction, and mass patterns to search for signs of physics beyond the Standard Model.
