March 2019: Dark matter: what is it, and how are we going to find it?
1 March 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm GMT
Talk by Professor Alex Murphy, Professor of Nuclear & Particle Astrophysics at the University of Edinburgh
FULL: All visitor tickets now allocated. Sorry!
“Copious astronomical evidence indicates that an invisible material, fundamentally different from that which makes up the stars and planets, dominates the matter of the Universe. This ‘dark matter’, is the target of numerous particle astrophysics experiments. Not only is it critical to astronomy, but the inability to describe this material in terms of any of the known fundamental particles makes it also of central importance in particle physics. So what is the evidence for this strange material? What might it be? And how are we going to find it?”
