Wednesday 25 June 2025 at 14:00 hrs ICTP Colloquium on "Choosing to Collide" by Prof. Nathaniel Craig

[Infopoint]

Dear All,

You are most cordially invited to the *ICTP Colloquium* on "*Choosing to 
Collide*" by *Prof. Nathaniel Craig* from the Department of Physics at 
the University of California, Santa Barbara.

The Colloquium will take place on *Wednesday 25 June 2025 in the 
Budinich Lecture Hall at 14:00* hrs CET, and live-streamed.

Biosketch:

Nathaniel Craig is a full professor in the Department of Physics at the 
University of California, Santa Barbara, where he works on topics in 
particle theory ranging from quarks to the cosmos. He is a recipient of 
an Early Career Award from the US Department of Energy and a Cottrell 
Scholar Award from the Research Corporation for Science Advancement. He 
currently leads the Particle Theory Initiative at the Kavli Institute 
for Theoretical Physics, which seeks to strengthen research connections 
both within the particle physics community and at its dynamic interface 
with other fields.

Abstract:

We plan to construct the next generation of colliders because there is 
new fundamental knowledge to be gained at the energy frontier — 
knowledge about both the Standard Model itself and the more fundamental 
theory that underlies it. I’ll survey the triumphant role of colliders 
in building the Standard Model, the main open questions now facing 
particle physics, and the profound motivation these questions provide 
for successors to the Large Hadron Collider, from precision Higgs 
factories to high-energy lepton and hadron colliders.

Light refreshments will be served after the event.

Looking forward to your participation.

With best regards,
