ABSTRACT

"Supersymmetry, Extra Dimensions and the Origin of Mass: Exploring the Nature of the Universe Using PetaScale Data Analysis"

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), scheduled to begin operation in Summer 2008, will collide protons at energies not accessible since the time of the early Universe. The study of the reactions produced at the LHC has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the most fundamental forces in nature. The ATLAS experiment, currently being installed at the LHC, is designed to detect collisions at the LHC, to collect the relevant data and to provide a unified framework for the reconstruction and analysis of these data. This talk...

@groundzerobuild Please don't bring your religious nonsense into the house of science.

One of the most detailed and fascinating descriptions on the LHC. The size of the project is mind-boggling and the expertise (how do you design and build e.g., a Muon detector?) inclusive of building custom electronics is just 'wow'. Enjoyed this great insight and the finding a needle in a needle-factory analogy. Just the issues of feature extraction and the amount of work of data analysis... there is no other technological project on this planet of this sophistication

SHE IS AN AMAZING LECTURER!

How do they know their experiments are not being contaminated by particles entering from space. Do they ever leave the detector on just to see what hits it when no experiment is running?

[asalamulekum]

Is there a "SETI-at-home" model for computational data analysis so you can borrow the CPU power of guest systems?

Amazing and knowledgeable woman!

@bijmah I'm not sure I would classify the Higgs Boson as "Mr. Higg's theory." It does fit nicely in to the Standard Model of Particle Physics which is incredibly successful in prediction and experiment.

[bijmah]

LHC has been in operation for a few years now and still there is not any sign of Higgs particles , i think world paid enough attention to Mr. Higg’s theory and spend enough collective international and intellectual effort and money to try to prove his theory in hopes of explaining the particle's mass. I think it is time to allow other suppressed brilliant physicist to take over the helm and steer the science away from politics and dogma of British dominance in to the rightful path of science.

We can make a clock but we can't make a time.
