Institute of Physics
South Central Branch - Brighton area - presents
Speaker: Dr David Newbold, University of Bristol
Date: Tuesday 8 December
Time: 19h00
Location: University of Sussex, Pevensey 1 building, room 1A7
The Large Hadron Collider is the world’s biggest scientific instrument. After twenty years of design and construction, collisions will start within the next few weeks, the first step on a new voyage of discovery into the world of the incredibly small.
Dr Dave Newbold will explain why particle physics appears complex, but is actually simple — but how building the accelerator and experiments has been more challenging than you might think. He’ll take a look at how the LHC works, see how the experiments are carried out, and talk about some of the new discoveries that could be made in the coming years.
