Smashing protons - Big Bang, Higgs & dark matter!
Date: Saturday, August 31, 2019
Time: 10:00 - 11:15 amSpeaker: Dr. Seema Sharma, Associate Professor (Physics), IISER Pune
Venue: New Lecture Hall, Smt Indrani Balan Science Activity Centre, IISER Pune

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. Ideally Class 7 - 10. However, we welcome other students to attend.
