Seeing the Invisible: The Dark Matter Puzzle with Dr Tina Potter
Tue 20 October 2020
Online
Astronomical observations tell us that Dark Matter makes up 27% of our Universe and experiences the gravitational force, yet we still know very little beyond this. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN continues to search for new, exotic particles that could explain Dark Matter. Dr Tina Potter will introduce the LHC and the largest of the four main detectors, ATLAS. She will show you how and why scientists search for a rich array of new particles predicted by Supersymmetry and the latest results from these searches. As the LHC program moves into its final stage, what further secrets of the Universe will be uncovered?
This online lecture will be preceded by an Isaac Physics quiz for sixth form physics students.
