‘New Particles’ talk at UH-Hilo
The University of Hawaii at Hilo Physics and Astronomy Program invites the public to a presentation titled “Discovering New Particles” at 7 p.m. March 16 at the UH-Hilo Science and Technology Building, Room 108.
Sally Seidel, professor of physics at the University of New Mexico, will address the discovery of new particles involving teams of people from dozens of nations working together to build experimental facilities so large that if they weren’t buried deep underground, they would be visible from space.
Seidel’s focus searches for new physics processes with the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider and development of new instruments for particle detection. In 2014, her group discovered a new particle, the Bc(2S).
