Playing Dirty - Excavating New Particles by Jessica N. Howard

Explore the fascinating world of subatomic particles in this 41-minute Café KITP talk by Jessica N. Howard from the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Delve into the building blocks of matter, energy manifestations, and potential descriptions of gravity that affect everything from technology to the evolution of our universe. Discover how scientists are working to construct a comprehensive theory of particles and their interactions using sophisticated computational and mathematical techniques. Learn about an innovative approach that combines machine learning with mathematical methods originally designed for moving dirt to help answer the fundamental question: what is our universe made of? Engage with this thought-provoking presentation, followed by a Q&A session, in the relaxed atmosphere of SOhO Restaurant, where you can enjoy food and drinks while expanding your understanding of cutting-edge physics research.
