DVT Presentation: "From the Sun Above to the Supercollider Underground: How Studying the Smallest Things Teaches us About the Largest"

–

Location: 100 Jordan Hall of Science (DVT)

dvt250

Presenter: Keith Davis, Ph.D., Director of the Digital Visualization Theater

The answers from machines such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva teach us about the basic building blocks of matter, but the realms of energies it studies don't happen anywhere else on Earth.  Dr. Davis will use the Digital Visualization Theater to show the audience how the LHC gathers answers about the nature of matter, and how that greater understanding applies to various targets within the universe and the big bang itself.

This presentation is part of Science Week, celebrating 150 years of science at the University of Notre Dame.
