Public Talk on Particle Physics Aug 31, 2019
Exciting Science Group is happy and excited to announce the next Popular Science Talk.
Smashing protons - Big Bang, Higgs & dark matter!
Date: Saturday, August 31, 2019
Time: 10:00 - 11:15 am
Speaker: Dr. Seema Sharma, Associate Professor (Physics), IISER Pune and member of the CMS experimental collaboration at CERN
Venue: New Lecture Hall, Smt Indrani Balan Science Activity Centre, IISER Pune
Abstract: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the CERN in Geneva is the most powerful accelerator which smashes protons traveling almost at the speed of light. The outcome of these collisions is recorded by giant cameras, like the CMS detector. In this talk, the speaker will explain how LHC and CMS make up the most advanced microscope to study the fundamental building blocks of the universe around us, and help us finding laws of nature governing their interactions.
Age Group: Ideally Class 7 - 10. However, we welcome other students to attend.
Supported by: IISER Pune, CSIR-NCL, Venture Center, Forbes Foundation, Nag Foundation and Praj Foundation
Registration is FREE and on a first-come-first-serve basis
