The Standard Model of particle physics has been a crowning achievement of fundamental physics\, culminating in the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. As a quantum theo ry of the building blocks of matter and forces\, it has been one of the mo st successful theories in science. The recent measurement of the mass of t he W boson disagrees with the theory prediction. This upset to the Standar d Model may point towards exciting new discoveries in particle physics in the coming years. We will discuss the Standard Model\, the crucial role of the W boson\, and how it has become the harbinger of new laws of nature.< /p>\n DTSTART:20221013T193000Z LOCATION:Monroe Hall\, Room 124 SUMMARY:The CDF W-Mass Measurement END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
