He will also discuss recent results from the LHC and touch on what’s next in the world of high-energy physics. The lecture will be followed by an audience question and answer session.</span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 8px; font-size: 1.1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><span data-mce-style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;" style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Calibri; "> </span></p><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1.1em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><span data-mce-style="font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;" style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Calibri; ">Dr Evans, born in Wales in 1945, has spent his whole career in the field of high energy physics and particle accelerators.
