Cambridge Physics Centre presents:

News from CERN and the Large Hadron Collider
Dr Christopher Lester, University of Cambridge

By recording collisions between protons which have been fired at each other using the Large Hadron Collider, CERN scientists probe the states of matter that were present in the Universe less than one picosecond after the ‘Big Bang’. In this talk, Dr Lester will talk about what the LHC is, how it works, and what it has (and hasn't) discovered since it was turned on.
