Anatomy of a Particle Detector
This event will be available both in -person and live-streamed online.
Particle detectors are to particle physicists as telescopes are to astronomers. They allow us to open a window into the inner workings of the Universe at the smallest length scales to understand it in terms of its fundamental constituents. But how exactly do they reveal to us the properties of the subatomic world in such extraordinary detail and with such remarkable agreement with theoretical predictions?
Claire MaIone will explore these incredible feats of engineering, with a particular focus on the ATLAS experiment at CERN. To digest the enormous flow of data produced by the collisions, ATLAS uses an advanced “trigger” system to tell the detector which particle interactions to record and which to ignore. Complex data acquisition and computing systems are then used to analyse the collision events recorded. Claire will conclude by looking to the future at what new technologies particle detectors are employing so that we can continue exploring the subject of the building blocks of our universe in ever greater detail.

Upcoming Talks
Watch Me, I'm an AI!
From content creation, real-time analytics, and automated editing to personalised viewer experiences, AI offers numerous tools to augment the craft of presenting. But it cannot substitute the human touch—embodied in genuine passion, personal anecdotes, and authentic audience connections- which make storytelling compelling and relatable. If future news events are to be presented by AI rather than someone experiencing emotional reactions alongside the audience, how will journalism change?
