Run 3 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) - What's the Excitement? Markus Klute’s research team played a major role in the 2012 identification of the Higgs boson. He has also contributed significantly to the analysis of the data collected by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In this discussion, he explains how understanding the origins of our universe depends on the discovery and analysis of sub-atomic particles. This investigation is advanced by the much-anticipated 3rd Run of the LHC. Run 3 will attempt to reveal unknown particles, possibly even dark matter particles, and will help to explain the nature of mass and numerous other mysteries about the origin of matter.
