Researchers around the world hope to discover new particles that can explain the nature of dark matter, prove the existence of extra dimensions, and perhaps even create mini black holes…

The LHC, the world’s largest particle accelerator located on the French-Swiss border, recreates the conditions that prevailed a few seconds after the Big Bang. This equipment makes it possible to collide protons at a speed close to the speed of light, in order to create new particles.

We will discuss very strange events in which protons remain intact after interactions that allow to probe the existence of extra-dimensions in the universe and dark matter particles.

This event is free, but RSVP is mandatory.

Free public lecture, in English, followed by Q&A with the audience and a wine and cheese reception. This event is part of the eighth annual French-Americal Science Festival.
