SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium: How many new particles remain to be discovered?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Department of Physics colloquium entitled “How 
 many new particles remain to be discovered?” with Professor Mikhail Shap
 oshnikov\, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)\nPlease note
  – The lecture will run from 16:00-17:00\, followed by refreshments fro
 m 17:00-18:00 in the Level 8 Common Room of the Blackett Building.\nAbstra
 ct\nNature contains several seemingly unrelated mass scales\, ranging from
  neutrino masses to the Planck scale associated with gravity. At the same 
 time\, the Standard Model of particle physics and Einstein’s general the
 ory of relativity provide a remarkably successful description of almost al
 l phenomena observed in Nature\, with only a few notable exceptions. In th
 is presentation\, Professor Shaposhnikov will discuss whether the existenc
 e of these widely separated scales\, together with the known shortcomings 
 of the Standard Model\, points to a rich spectrum of new particles or to a
 n economical extension of known physics\, and address the question posed i
 n the title.\nBiography\nMikhail Shaposhnikov studied at Moscow State Univ
 ersity and received his PhD from the Institute for Nuclear Research of the
  Russian Academy of Sciences in 1982. After serving as a research scientis
 t at the Institute for Nuclear Research in Moscow (1982–1991) and a staf
 f physicist at the CERN Theory Division (1991–1998)\, he became Full Pro
 fessor of Physics at the University of Lausanne (1998–2003). In 2003\, h
 e moved to EPFL\, where he headed the Laboratory for Particle Physics and 
 Cosmology until becoming Professor Emeritus in 2021. His research focuses 
 on theoretical particle physics and cosmology\, particularly the origin of
  the baryon asymmetry of the Universe\, neutrino physics\, dark matter\, i
 nflation\, gravity and the early Universe.
