VIRTUELT | The year’s biggest physics events

Come join us for an online event at which we will explain some of the exciting discoveries and events in fundamental physics in 2020!

The year’s biggest physics events

We will talk about gravitational waves, dark matter, black holes and the Nobel prize in physics, and explain how the novel developments are related to research at CP3-Origins at SDU. Afterwards, there will also be the opportunity to ask question and discuss with the researchers.

Helt nye spor af mørkt stof fra verdens største XENON tank.

w/Associate professor Mads Toudal Frandsen, Cp3-Origins, SDU

I juni rapporterede XENON1T mørkt stof eksperimentet i Gran Sasso i Italien, at de har målt nogle forstyrrelser i XENON tanken. Enten er der tale om uventede radiokative processer i XENON væsken eller også er der tale om kollisioner med nye elementarpartikler. Eksperimentet leder efter mørkt stof, men det mest sandsynlige er måske snarere nye 'Axion Like Particles'. I dette oplæg fortælles der om resultatet og om en model udviklet på SDUs Center for kosmologi og partikelfysik, hvor mørkt stof og Axion Like Particles er to sider af samme sag og som måske kan forklare resultaterne.

Incoming message: From: two big black holes. Subject: Gravitational Waves

w/Assistant professor Roman Gold, Cp3-Origins, SDU

Current Gravitational Wave detectors, LIGO (USA) and VIRGO (Italy) are searching for the tiniest ripples in spacetime imaginable and have discovered yet another exciting signal GW190521! This time the gravitational waves originated from a merger of the two largest black holes ever detected in this channel. I will explain what gravitational waves and black holes are, why they are so important and how such measurements are even possible. Next I will discuss what information these gravitational waves contain and how they challenge our understanding of how massive stars explode.

The Nobel prize, black holes and their secret interiors

w/Associate professor Astrid Eichhorn, Cp3-Origins, SDU

The Nobel prize in physics in 2020 was given to three researchers who have advanced our understanding of black holes. But what are these objects, what makes them black, and most importantly: what are they hiding from us on their inside?
