High Energy Physics: The Tools of the Trade (Physics Seminar - Open to the Public)

High Energy Physics:  The Tools of the Trade
Sarah Demers, Ph.D.
Yale University

In this talk Professor Sarah Demers will describe the tools of particle physics. How do accelerators work?  What are the detectors that we use?  What limitations do our current devices put on the physics that we can explore? And how do our experiments of thousands of collaborators function? Starting from a history of the early experiments and using some electricity and magnetism, we'll look at a current particle physics experiment from the inside. With a focus on the ATLAS Experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, Professor Demers will introduce you to the detector and present latest results.
