Brighton Astro – Studying the universe on a tabletop
Speaker: Amber Shepherd, University of Sussex
November 7 @ 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm
- DOORS: 7.00pm
- LECTURE: 7.30pm
There is still a lot that we do not understand about our universe, such as dark matter and dark energy.
Much of our understanding of dark matter comes from observations made from far out galaxies. We are building a very sensitive tabletop device to gather data which may help to answer some of these questions. This talk will explore what new physics tabletop experiments may uncover, as well as the quantum technology we are setting up to search for dark matter.
