Next General Meeting is Oct. 22nd 2009
The Society of Physics Students at UCSC PRESENTS:
A General Meeting: “The Bare Essentials of Particle Physics”
Date: Thursday, October 22, 2009
Time: 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
Place: ISB 231
Be there or be quadrilateral!
This week Prof. Jason Nielsen (Department of Physics and Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics) will offer tips and tricks to solve those particle physics problems at relativistic speeds!
In his own words:
Even if you haven’t managed to take a particle physics course yet, don’t worry! You will still be able to catch the excitement of the Large Hadron Collider experiments and kill those particle physics exam questions after this lecture by Prof. Nielsen. We’ll go through the fundamental particles and forces, and we’ll also brush up on relativistic kinematics with a few tips to make calculations easier. With our new-found particle skills, we’ll look ahead to the startup of the LHC scheduled for November.
