Unravel the mysteries of dark matter with Dr Irene Bolognino as part of the National Quantum & Dark Matter Road Trip.

Braggs Lecture Theatre, The University of Adelaide

Join the National Quantum &amp; Dark Matter Road Trip in Adelaide to hear from an expert in the field on how and why we hunt for dark matter.<ul><li>Date: Saturday 20 August 2022</li><li>Time: 6:45 pm: arrival; 7:00–8:00 pm: lecture</li><li>Venue: <a href="https://cshen.github.io/data/north_terrace_campus.pdf" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Braggs Lecture Theatre</a>, The University of Adelaide</li></ul>This is a FREE event.Speaker: Dr Irene BologninoTitle: Experimental Direct Detection Searches for Dark MatterSummary: Understanding the nature of dark matter is one of the biggest open problems in modern physics: dark matter represents 84% of all the matter in the Universe, but we don’t yet know what it is. An approach to detect dark matter is to observe the annual modulation signal due to the orbital movement of the Earth around the Sun. Australia is playing a key role in detecting dark matter through annual modulation: this lecture describes the development of a leading-edge experiment which will be installed inside the first deep underground laboratory in the Southern Hemisphere, located in regional Victoria, Australia.Bio: Irene is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the ARC Centre of Excellence in Dark Matter Particle Physics, based at The University of Adelaide. She tries to understand how the world around us is made by capturing the vibrations of dark matter. The National Quantum &amp; Dark Matter Road Trip is bringing all things quantum and dark matter to communities around Australia, as part of National Science Week. A team of scientists and science communicators will be driving from Brisbane to Perth, 8–26 August 2022, visiting schools, libraries, pubs and other community hubs, with the goal of inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers and highlighting the potential of quantum technologies and dark matter discovery for the future of our society.We are very grateful to The University of Adelaide for their support of this event.Mask wearing is strongly encouraged at this event.
