Speaker: Professor Steven Cowley, Director of Culham Laboratory.
Date & Time: 7pm, Tuesday 4th of May, 2010
Location: Pevensey 1, theatre 1A7, University of Sussex
In a decade, the international fusion experiment ITER will start operating in the south of France. This historic experiment will generate up to 500 megawatts of fusion power and provide a proof of principle for fusion energy. Fusion has the potential to provide a large fraction of our energy for millions of years. In this talk, Steven will describe the scientific progress in fusion, from Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington's prophetic predictions in 1920 to the remarkable results that have lead to ITER, and the challenging problems that must be solved to make fusion power a commercial option.

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.
