Knight Auditorium, Spurlock Museum 600 South Gregory Street Urbana

Event Description

The new Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN promises to reveal physics secrets at both the smallest (subatomic) and largest (cosmological) scales. These include the origin of mass and, possibly, the nature of the mysterious cosmological dark matter. First collisions are scheduled for mid-2009. John Ellis is one of the foremost world experts on this topic, having done research both in particle physics and cosmology.
Hosted by: Department of Physics

In conjunction with: Department of Astronomy, Department of Mathematics, National Center for Supercomputing Applications, Spurlock Museum, and William M. Staerkel Planetarium, Parkland College
