On Sept. 10, the first beam ever will be sent through and around the Large Hadron Collider, a brand new particle accelerator, in Geneva, Switzerland.
University of Oregon physicists have key roles in this international endeavor. Come to campus for a free evening event to learn more about the "first beam" and how the LHC will advance the quest of physics to learn about the fundamental nature of the universe.
Speakers: Jim Brau, Graham Kribs and Eric Torrence … Friday, Sept. 12, 7 p.m., Columbia Hall, Room 150 … MORE DETAILS.
(Anyone with an interest in science will get a bang out of this event!)
