      The Large Hadron Collider at CERN has now being running for more than half a year. This is the world’s largest experiment, located near Geneva. It’s a 27km long underground nuclear accelerator and the world’s current most exciting opportunity for new discoveries.

      This machine is searching for the elusive Higgs Boson. It is also looking for dark matter, higher dimensions and studying extreme states of matter, that give insight into the origins of the Universe. The LHC can indeed change the face of science. South Africans have a unique once- off opportunity to hear first-hand about the LHC from visiting CERN scientists. Dr Assamagan leads the ATLAS search for the Higgs boson and Dr Dabrowski is a leading Applied Physicist preparing for a future even higher energy accelerator to take us to physics way beyond the LHC.

      Please join us as they talk about the LHC and beyond, and the astounding experiments that are and will be possible.

      The MTN Sciencentre address is 407 Canal Walk (Upper level, Entrance 5),
      Century City near Cape Town
      There is no cost to attend the event but seating is limited and booking is advised.

        Road Map for Discoveries at Hadron Colliders 1h
        Particle physics at the high energy frontier is dominated by experiments at hadron colliders. The Tevatron Collider at Chicago, USA, with its successful exploitation and many searches for new physics is now being followed by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Geneva, Switzerland, which will explore a new territory of physics in the coming decades. The LHC will allow us to study, in a laboratory, for the first time fundamental physics phenomena as they occurred very shortly after the Big Bang. The experiments address questions like: why have particle a mass, what is the mysterious non-visible dark matter in the Universe, are there more than four dimensions in Nature, what are the smallest building blocks of matter? South African teams are part of the challenging LHC experiments. Results and expectations from both projects will be discussed.

        Particle accelerators: ships of discovery, engines of development 45m
        Particle accelerators were born a century ago, together with the discovery of elementary particles. Cross-fertilized by technical progress and emerging technologies, they have shown sustained development over the years to become the modern ships of discovery in high-energy and nuclear physics, and also – as powerful sources of probe radiation – in atomic, molecular and condensed-matter science. Today, particle accelerators have found their way as new tools in health and medicine, both for research and clinical applications, as well as in industry and security. We will present examples of such diverse applications and briefly discuss future paths of development.

        CERN – A Gateway to Collaboration & Innovation 1h
        This presentation describes how to CERN is seeking to concretise the role of fundamental research as a driver for innovation. This has been a very evident aspect of high-energy physics research. This type of research needs very sophisticated instruments using technologies that often exceed the available industrial know-how. Many of these technologies have been spun-off to innovations that have made our daily lives more efficient, practical and comfortable. CERN actively encourages technology transfer, or generally speaking the access to technologies, expertise and industrial processes to universities, laboratories and industries. Emmanuel Tsesmelis will highlight CERN’s role as a catalyst for the exchange of knowledge. However, CERN is actually more than a hub because it plays the role of an active "catalyser" in the exchange of knowledge. Several concrete examples will be discussed. An additional aspect is the CERN Global Network. This network aims to facilitate knowledge exchange across the various groups described above and to improve the visibility of partnership opportunities related to CERN's activities. It will also enable CERN to gather data on knowledge transfer through mobility. This Global Network will welcome former and current members, drawn amongst others, from Users and companies from CERN's member states, universities and research institutes. It will deliver a database of members and a dedicated website, providing information about partnership and knowledge-sharing opportunities (training, new R&D projects, transferable technologies, jobs etc) across the community. It will also foster the creation of special interest groups and organize events.

        Energetics and Nuclear Fusion 1h
        ITER (in Latin “the way”) is designed to demonstrate the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion energy on an industrial scale. The principal goal of ITER is to generate 500 megawatts of fusion power for periods of 300 to 500 seconds with a fusion power multiplication factor of at least 10. The technical challenges of the project will be discussed together with the accompanying development program for the major components. The ITER Organization was officially established in Cadarache, France, on 24 October 2007. The seven members engaged in the project – China, the European Union, India, Japan, Korea, Russia and the United States – represent more than half the world’s population. The costs for ITER, which are shared by the seven members, include a construction cost of approximately 5.5 billion Euros, with a similar amount foreseen for the twenty-five-year phase covering operation and the subsequent decommissioning. The status of the build up of the organizations will be discussed. Since the establishment of the organization, the team in Cadarache and the supporting Domestic Agencies from each Member that have been created to deliver 90 % of the ITER hardware on an “In-Kind” basis, have executed a basic design review. Several changes, some major, have been incorporated in the present baseline as a result of this design review. The present status of the construction project will also be presented. Many of the agreements between the ITER Organization and the Domestic Agencies have been signed, and active construction of superconducting strands, cables and other subsystems is underway, together with the supporting R&D necessary to ensure maximum performance. Preparation of the site and of the itinerary to transport heavy components to the site is essentially complete. Planning of building construction has reached a very mature state and preparatory excavations will commence soon.

        Progress in particle therapy in Europe 1h
        Hadrons play a critical role in the 21st century oncology: proton beams are now regularly used to treat cancer, and carbon-ion therapy starts to spread as well. State-of-the-art techniques borrowed from particle accelerators and detectors are a key element in particle therapy, and several European projects are actively fostering the connections between clinicians, physicists, biologists and engineers. It is anticipated that the next decade will produce better outcomes from radiation techniques used in cancer therapy. There are many challenges along the way to achieve this for the largest number of suitable patients, as well as the integration of hadron therapy techniques into the multi-modality management of cancer. The generous contributions of the EU to this multidisciplinary effort by sharing training, education, research and development, is both exemplary and necessary in order to achieve progress as efficiently and rapidly as possible and at the lowest overall cost.
