Particle Journeys: From Deep Space to Deep Underground
Subatomic particles come in many shapes and sizes. Some of them travel billions of years from deep space to reach our instruments on Earth. Through a number of hands-on activities and demos, we will introduce the audience to the fundamental particles that make up matter. We will also introduce the special telescopes we use to capture such particles coming from outer space. We are a group of particle physicists and astrophysicists who've joined hands to study some of the most elusive objects in the universe.
