Public lecture
Each year the world celebrates the historic hunt for the unseen—something that we refer to as dark matter. Join us in Oxford for a public lecture by Professor Kimberly Palladino, an experimental particle physicist working on the LZ experiment, and others, to learn about the dark side of the universe.
We know that the overwhelming majority of mass in the galaxy cannot be seen. Astronomers have mapped it by observing the effects of its gravity. Particle physics has an idea that it consists of a new type of particle. Join us to learn more about the mystery and the research going on at Oxford to uncover its secrets.
Happy Dark Matter Day!
NO NEED TO BOOK - PLEASE JUST COME ALONG!
Background
Dark matter is a mystery of interest to many researchers at Oxford. Astronomers study its role in galaxy evolution. The Beecroft Institute of Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology leads research in theoretical physics. Particle physicists aim to create dark matter particles in collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, as well as directly searching for their interactions in projects like the LZ experiment
