Join us on-line from 4pm to 7pm on Thursday 23 September for a livestream event to learn about particle physics research at Oxford. Hear from researchers studying High Energy collisions, and phenomena like dark matter, antimatter, and neutrinos; follow a guided tour of our Minecraft model of the CERN laboratory; and watch exciting demonstrations from the Accelerate! show. Oxford particle physicists will be available through the evening to answer your questions.
Live, via the Oxford Physics YouTube channel. Everyone is welcome, regardless their knowledge of physics.

19:00 End
Speakers will answer questions after their talks - you can post yours on the chat box on YouTube.
If time allows, we will also show short video demonstrations from the Accelerate! show – accelerating particles, circular motion, electric and magnetic fields, and liquid nitrogen.
Although we’ll aim to follow this strictly, changes may occur as this will be a live event.
