2 $ whoami S Lukasz (Luke) Kreczko Particle Physicist S Computing Research Assistant at the University of Bristol S My work involves: S Programming & project management (aka physics analysis) S SysAdmin, DevOps & user support S Outreach: among others, this talk
3 This talk includes S A (very) short introduction to particle physics S An overview of the LHC and the CMS experiment S Our data problem and our evolving solution
4 What is Particle Physics? In a nutshell Particle physics is the study of the smallest matter and anti-matter particles and the interactions between them.
5 How small is small? Observable Universe The Top? m m Galaxy clusters m Solar system 1m You are here m Atoms m Standard Model m Unknown? m Planck length The Bottom?
6 Why are we doing this? S Our business is fundamental physics and we are trying to figure out how our universe works
7 Where does mass come from? S What is the origin of mass? S We are a step closer with the Higgs boson! S/(S+B) Weighted Events / 1.5 GeV CMS -1 s = 7 TeV, L = 5.1 fb Data S+B Fit B Fit Component ±1σ ±2 σ Events / 1.5 GeV s = 8 TeV, L = 5.3 fb Unweighted (GeV) m γγ (GeV) m γγ Discovered in 2012
8 Where does mass come from? S What is the origin of mass? S We are a step closer with the Higgs boson! S/(S+B) Weighted Events / 1.5 GeV CMS -1 s = 7 TeV, L = 5.1 fb Data S+B Fit B Fit Component ±1σ ±2 σ Events / 1.5 GeV s = 8 TeV, L = 5.3 fb Unweighted (GeV) m γγ (GeV) m γγ Francois Englert & Peter W. Higgs Nobel Prize in Physics 2013
9 What is Dark Matter? S What is 96 % of the universe made of? We only see 4%! What is Dark Matter and Dark Energy? dark energy, 73% dark matter, 23% stars, etc, 0.4% intergala ctic gas, 3.6%
10 Where has the anti-matter gone? S At the Big Bang, matter and anti-matter have been produced in equal quantities: why do we exist? S Matter and anti-matter should have annihilated each other shortly after S But there is lots of matter and almost no anti-matter in the universe!
11 S What is the state of matter just after the Big Bang?
12 What we know so far: The Standard Model S Describes elementary particles and the interactions between them S So far we know 6 quarks, 6 leptons and 4 force carriers + their anti-particles *Discovered in 2012!
13 The Standard Model S Normal matter consists of only the first generation proton neutron *Discovered in 2012!
14 The Standard Model S Muons: 1 per cm 2 per minute from cosmic rays at sea level *Discovered in 2012!
15 The Standard Model S Neutrinos: 7*10 10 particles per cm 2 per second from the sun S pass almost undisturbed through matter S Can oscillate into each other (discovered in 2001) Borexino experiment in Gran Sasso *Discovered in 2012!
16 The Standard Model S Photons (light) carriers of the electro-magnetic force: holding electrons within atoms together *Discovered in 2012!
17 The Standard Model S Photons (light) carriers of the electro-magnetic force: holding electrons within atoms together S Z- and W-bosons carriers of the weak force: radioactive betadecays *Discovered in 2012!
18 The Standard Model S Photons (light) carriers of the electro-magnetic force: holding electrons within atoms together S Z- and W-bosons carriers of the weak force: radioactive betadecays S Gluons: carriers of the strong force: holding the atomic nucleus together *Discovered in 2012!
19 The Standard Model S Newest observed member of the quarks (1995) S Highest mass (by a huge margin) comparable to a gold atom S Very short lifetime ~10-25 s: decays before it can interact with other matter! S My subject of study *Discovered in 2012!
20 The Standard Model S All of this is not stable and has to be produced in particle collisions! *Discovered in 2012!
21 The Large Hadron Collider Mankind s biggest machine (27 km circumference)
22 The Large Hadron Collider 4.3 km
23 The Large Hadron Collider the worlds most powerful microscope : allows the measurement of very small distances (~10-20 m)
24 The Large Hadron Collider the worlds fastest race track : protons go around the LHC ~10000 times per second
25 The Large Hadron Collider Cardiff Geneva: 150 times per second
26 The Large Hadron Collider a time machine : Recreates conditions as they were available nanoseconds after the Big Bang
27 The Large Hadron Collider collisions are 100,000 times hotter than the centre of the sun
28 The Large Hadron Collider And more dense than neutron stars!
29 The Large Hadron Collider Colder than deep space: (super) liquid helium at 1.9 K (-271 C) is used to cool LHC s superconducting magnets
