Café Scientifique Vancouver

June 25, 2019 - 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Our next café will happen on Tuesday, June 25th at 7:30pm in the back room at Yagger’s Downtown (433 W Pender).

Our speaker for the evening will be Lars Martin. The title of his talk is:

From Alpha to Omega – Particles and How We Detect Them

Ever since the discovery of the electron in the late 19th century, physicists have used detectors to measure and identify particles. While today’s detector systems – like ATLAS at the Large Hadron Collider – are complex (and expensive) systems that detect obscure particles, the underlying principles of these detectors are relatively straightforward. The goal of this talk is to give attendees a basic understanding of what these machines actually do.

Lars Martin works as a detector physicist at TRIUMF, most recently supporting the ALPHA-g antimatter gravity experiment at CERN.

We hope to see you there!
