/_Invitation to a special event to mark the 50th anniversary of 
physicist's Steven Weinberg paper "A Model of Leptons"_/

Today at 16:30, physicist Steven Weinberg will give a lecture that will 
be livestreamed to ICTP and the world to mark the 50th anniversary of 
his 1967 paper, “A Model of Leptons”. In his lecture, which is titled 
"Reminiscences of the Standard Model", Weinberg will describe the path 
that led him to the electroweak theory of Salam and himself, and what 
happened afterwards.

The livestream will be shown in ICTP's Budinich Lecture Hall in the 
Leonardo Building. It also will be available online at 
ictp.it/livestream (ICTP's YouTube channel), or on ICTP's Facebook page 
(https://www.facebook.com/ictp.page/?ref=ts). Viewers watching the 
livestream on ICTP's YouTube channel and on Facebook will be able to 
submit questions online; a selection of those questions will be 
presented to Professor Weinberg at the end of his lecture.

Weinberg's paper, in which he presented his work on the unification of 
weak and electromagnetic interactions, played a seminal role in the 
development of the Standard Model of particle physics. Together with 
ICTP founder Abdus Salam and Sheldon Glashow, Weinberg won the 1979 
Nobel Prize in Physics for contributions to the theory of the unified 
weak and electromagnetic interaction between elementary particles.

More details about the event can be found at

Light refreshments will be served after the event.

Looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday 17 October 2017.
