ConclusionsThe experimental particle physics group
Is pursuing exciting frontier physics @ CERN Is hyper-active Is engaged in next gen electronics R&D Is cohesive and supportive Is establishing an experimental astrophysics
program using the LSST telescope Is looking for a few good students to
continue our successes

Yet?

Hot Off the Press ResultsWe definitely know where the Higgs is
NOT hidingAnd we have a hint (only) as to where it
may be found
