Google+ Hangout: Watch live on http://youtube.com/CERNTV

 

What is antimatter? Why does antimatter matter? Series 3 of Hangout with CERN starts with a bang! A special hangout with CERN and the Google Science Fair that takes us into the weird and wonderful world of antimatter.

 

CERN physicists Tara Shears and Niels Madsen will talk to host Shree Bose, Google Science Fair 2011 grand prize winner, about this mysterious part of our universe. What antimatter research is going on at CERN and what are the implications? If all goes to plan, CERNs Rolf Landua will also show us the Hollywood-side of antimatter!

 

This "Hangout with CERN" is broadcast live on Thursday 18 April at 17:00 CET, on CERN's Google+ and YouTube pages, with a recording later available on YouTube. Post your questions in advance in the comments below, or on Twitter to @CERN and @googlescifair with the hashtags #askCERN and #GSF2013 .

 

Google Science Fair is an online science competition open to students aged 13-18 from around the globe. Students can register now at googlesciencefair.com, the closing date is 30 April 2013. Find out more about CERNs involvement in Google Science Fair at http://goo.gl/N9f3G

Watch the webcast via http://tedxcern.ch/ or http://webcast.cern.ch/

 

Going beyond particle physics, TEDxCERN will provide a stage for the expression of science in multiple dimensions and disciplines, unveiling a world in which physics intersects with other multi-dimensional disciplines and thought.

 

TEDxCERN will take place on 3 May 2013 at CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland, and will be webcast live throughout many of CERN's member institutes. For more info see: http://tedxcern.ch/ and http://www.facebook.com/tedxcern/

Google+ Hangout: Watch live on http://youtube.com/CERNTV

 

The world’s largest particle accelerator, CERN's Large Hadron Collider, is preparing to run at higher energies. With collisions on hold, engineers and physicists are busy consolidating and upgrading the accelerator, the experiments and more.

 

In this week's hangout, researchers from the TALENT project give us an insight into their work to help upgrade the ATLAS detector. Find out how cutting-edge engineering, software and physics analysis are working together to make a gigantic detector even greater!

Google+ Hangout: Watch live on http://youtube.com/CERNTV

 

On 4th July 2012, CERN announced the discovery of a new boson later confirmed to be "a Higgs boson", but which one? Is it the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics or one of the five Higgs bosons associated with "supersymmetry", a principle that attempts to fix the few remaining problems of the Standard Model?

 

In this week's hangout, theoretical physicist John Ellis (pictured in the banner above) joins experimental physicists to talk about supersymmetry, also known as "SUSY". What is it, why, and how does it link with the Higgs boson?

Google+ Hangout: Watch live on http://youtube.com/CERNTV

 

Dark matter is a mysterious type of matter that no one can see but that makes up 27% of the content of the Universe. What is it? How do we know it's there? What are experiments at CERN doing to find out about it?

 

This week's hangout features physicists from LHC, AMS and CAST experiments at CERN to talk about what they're doing to explore the "dark side" of the Universe.

 

Join this "Hangout with CERN" broadcast live on Thursday 27 June at 17:00 CEST, on CERN's Google+ and YouTube pages, with a recording later available on YouTube.

Find out more about dark matter by reading our blog: http://www.quantumdiaries.org/2013/06/26/does-dark-matter-really-exist/ and watching the recent CERN TED-Ed animation

 

The banner image, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, shows a gravitational lens mirage known as a Horseshoe Einstein Ring. Gravitational lenses allow astronomers to determine the mass and dark matter content of a galaxy (Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap111221.html).
