Future by Imperial Lecture Series
Celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the MSc Management programme
The speakers have been invited from different departments across Imperial College and will begin in February 2015. The series is designed to be particularly relevant for MSc Management and MBA students from Imperial College Business School although all staff and students are welcome to attend.
Title: Dark (matter) at the end of the tunnel?
Speaker: Professor Jordan Nash
Abstract
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is perhaps the biggest scientific experiment ever attempted. Scientists at the LHC are searching to increase our understanding of the building blocks of the universe, and have already discovered the Higgs Boson in the first operation of the collider. The LHC will restart operations in 2015 at a higher energy than ever before attempted. What could the collider find, and what are possible next steps to try and understand the as yet unseen Dark Matter or other possible new physics beyond our Standard Model?
Professor Jordan Nash: Speaker Biography
Professor Jordan Nash is a former head of the High Energy Physics group at Imperial, and is currently the Head of the Physics Department.
He has been involved in particle physics experiments at CERN for the last 25 years, and has also worked on experiments at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in California. He lead the team preparing for future high intensity operation of the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, and is also currently collaborating on an experiment based in Japan, which is being designed to look for rare interactions forbidden by the Standard Model of particle physics.
Future by Imperial Lecture Series events are free to attend but pre-registration is required.
