Title:     Solving the Mystery of the Universe's Mass

Abstract: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the key to solve the mystery of the origin of the Universe's mass. Why is mass a mystery? because all matter particles we have observed (except, maybe one neutrino) have a mass, whose origin is unknown. And on top of that, we know that there should be at least one more particle, whose mass is responsible of the Dark Matter content of the Universe. LHC's energy is right at the place where we expect the origin of mass (visible and dark) to manifest itself. In this talk I will explain what is the current theoretical view of the origin of mass, and describe some relevant searches at the LHC.


Stimulants will be available 15 minutes before the talk.
