Particle Fever follows the inside story of six brilliant scientists seeking to unravel the mysteries of the universe, documenting the successes and setbacks in the planet's most significant and inspiring scientific breakthrough.
CoEPP extends a special invitation to year 11 and 12 students studying physics to attend the International Particle Physics Masterclass on 9 July. The class will be offered at the Universities of Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney and will be run concurrently. Students will work with CoEPP physicists and analyse real data from the ATLAS experiment at CERN.
Ray Volkas' public lecture now available online for those who missed this great event! This talk surveys the challenges to fundamental physics posed by the discovery of dark matter and neutrino masses, and the enduring question of why the universe is bereft of antimatter.
Associate Professor Juan Collar from the University of Chicago will present a series of lectures in NSW, SA, VIC and WA as part of National Science Week.
Since the first experimental evidence of atmospheric neutrino oscillations by Super-Kamiokande in 1998 which implied a non-vanishing neutrino mass there has been a lot of progress in the field of neutrino physics.
Dr Peter Jenni, former ATLAS spokesperson and winner of numerous prizes including the Fundamental Physics prize in 2013, will speak about the journey to the discovery of the Higgs, Australian involvement, and what lies in the future of LHC research.
