Particle Astrophysics at the Large Hadron Collider
Professor Martin White, from the University of Adelaide, explores the theory of modern particle physics and the search for dark matter. Martin takes us on a tour through the different particles and forces that make up our universe, and even includes some of the pretty scary maths behind it all - just for the fun of it!
Martin's second lecture - this time about the experimental side of particle physics and the search for dark matter. We meet the detectors of the Large Hadron Collider, and the different competing researchers around the world hunting for signals of the elusive, mysterious dark matter that comprises around one quarter of the cosmos.
