Title: “Hunting for Wild Antarctic Astro-Particles”
Abstract: The past 100 years of cosmic-ray research has produced a plethora of Nobel Prizes and a wealth of scientific progress. The next leap forward will be in the observation of neutrinos with energies of several Joules, which likely originate from outside the Milky Way. A host of projects are being built and operated in Antarctica, using the natural ice formations as target detectors for the neutrinos. Results from these projects will be presented, in the context of the history of cosmic-ray science.
This lecture series meets on one Thursday night each month, and is geared toward a more adult audience. It is a "mini-course" in astronomy, in which OSU and OWU professors discuss their current research and any new findings in their area of expertise!
Tickets are $10 for each lecture. Tickets for the entire series are available at a discount.
We have a capacity of 80 guests. Please call us and purchase your ticket in advance. (740)-363-1257
