- Public event, Sept. 12: Cracking Open the Universe, the LHC and future physics
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!)
- UO physicist creates a laser trap, which acts as a one-way gate to collect atoms
Physicists, including the UO's Daniel Steck, have created a laser barrier that lets atoms through only in one direction -- the barrier stuffs the gas into a smaller volume with only a minute increase in its temperature. The Science News, online, presents feature coverage of Steck's work, which was published in the June 20 issue of the journal Physical Review Letters. (Read Story)
