Wednesday 19 September 2012 Speaker: Stephen Haywood (RAL/PPD) Title: "Kangaroos, Koalas and the Higgs" Abstract: "The 2012 ICHEP (International Conference on High Energy Physics) was held in Melbourne. I will report back on the fauna and flora, with some mention of the physics presented. Not surprisingly, the conference was dominated by the announcement from CERN of the Higgs discovery (with all the appropriate caveats). I will talk about this and summarise all the other topics covered".
