'Talking Science' in Swindon
WHAT is Talking Science?
Talking Science is a series of popular science lectures that take place around STFC sites across the country. They offer a chance to hear about and discuss some of the hottest areas of science with some of the leading experts. You don't need to be an expert or even a scientist to come, they're aimed at everyone.
WHEN is it happening?
Thursday 16th June 2011 - 6.00pmat Polaris House, Swindon
'Particle Physics and the LHC' - Dr Helen Heath, University of Bristol
For the past 15 years Dr Heath has been involved in the construction of part of the CMS experiment which is now studying collisions of protons at the Large Hadron Collider. As the Large Hadron Collider improves in performance we are retracing the history of particle physics and our understanding of the fundamental constituents of matter; effectively rediscovering some old friends.
Dr Heath will discuss complexity of the detectors needed to study the fundamental particles, show some of the latest events and discuss what might be to come.
WHERE are the talks held?
At STFC's headquarters, Polaris House, Swindon
