Solving the Mystery of the Universe's Mass by Veronica Sanz

Description
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 yet 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 the current theoretical
view of the origin of mass and describe some relevant searches at the
LHC in a language accessible to physicists outside High Energy.
