Public Lecture—Smashing Protons: First Physics at the LHC
Ανέβηκε στις 11 Φεβ 2011
Lecture
Date: Tuesday, November 30, 2010. The Large Hadron Collider, at CERN in
Geneva, Switzerland, is the largest scientific instrument ever built.
For nearly a year now, we have been smashing protons into each other
with unprecedented energy, allowing us to peer into nature's most
intimate depths. The world's largest and most complex cameras take
snapshots of these collisions millions of times per second. These
pictures reveal the smallest components of the universe - the quarks and
gluons - and, someday, we hope, the elusive Higgs boson. Why do we need
to build such an enormous machine in order to study particles more than
a million times smaller than a speck of dust? This lecture will explain
how the LHC and its detectors work, what the pictures from the LHC are
telling us now, and how we will use this technology to explore the
deepest secrets of the universe. Lecturer: David Miller, SLAC.
