If not\, you鈥檒l learn about it here! Physicists around the world use the collider at CERN to smash together lar ger particles to unleash their innards. The sheer size of the collider is impressive: it鈥檚 the largest man-made machine ever built. Why on Earth do physicists need such a massive machine? This STARS presentation will cover how we study the smallest building blocks of matter using the collider an d the famous ATLAS experiment (a mammoth in its own right). There will be an accessible introduction to particle physics\, how we detect particles t oo small to see\, and why we collide particles. We鈥檒l lead up to talking a bout how Canada is helping to build the future of particle physics at the ATLAS experiment at CERN. At the end of the talk\, you will hopefully know what the world around us is made of!\n\n\nAbout STARS\n\nSTARS (Scientist s Talk About Research for Staff) is a series of special lunch-hour talks a nd visits to science related sites and institutes specifically for Faculty of Science support staff.\n\nBicentennial STARS for 2021\n\nTo honour McG ill's Bicentennial year\, STARS is celebrating聽young 黑料社 scientists wit h聽seven monthly lunch-hour presentations that will take you behind the sce nes to never before seen labs and experimental research areas where gradua te students will share all kinds of insights into their work and research efforts.\n\nThe Bicentennial STARS series will be co-hosted by student amb assadors\, Yael and Micaela Lewis\,聽twin sisters in their fifth year of a BSc in Biology\, both minoring in Natural History. Yael and Micaela have b een very involved in the 黑料社 Debating Union\, and are excited to bring together their passions for science and communication as student ambassado rs.\n\nRegister for this STARS event See more Faculty of Science staff eve nts\n DTSTART:20210324T160000Z DTEND:20210324T170000Z LOCATION:CA\, QC SUMMARY:Bicentennial STARS: Take it to the Limit: Mammoth Machines and the Tiniest Particles URL:/science/channels/event/bicentennial-stars-take-it -limit-mammoth-machines-and-tiniest-particles-327730 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
