New physics! — Lecture Series "Wissenschaft für Alle" continues as hybrid format
19.12.2023 |
The program of the “Wissenschaft für Alle” lecture series of GSI and FAIR will continue in the first half of 2024 to offer the audience an insight into the newest findings in physics. Interested parties can either attend the event in the lecture hall of GSI/FAIR following a registration or dial into the broadcast of the event via video conference using an internet-enabled device such as a laptop, cell phone or tablet. The program will begin on Wednesday, January 24, 2024, with a talk by Dr. Haik Simon of GSI/FAIR about high-energy nuclear collisions at more than two thirds the speed of light.
Focusing on the physics at the existing GSI and the future FAIR accelerator facility, other lectures will deal with the reactions at the FAIR experiment for compressed nuclear matter CBM and the irradiation of tumors using short and intense beam pulses, known as FLASH. Two further lectures will shed light on cosmic processes such as supernovae and neutron star mergers as sites for the synthesis of elements in the universe. A contribution concluding the half-year will highlight the importance of high accuracy and precision for gaining new scientific insights.
The lectures start at 2 p. m., further information about registration, access and the course of the event can be found on the event website at www.gsi.de/wfa (German)
The lecture series “Wissenschaft für Alle” is aimed at all persons interested in current science and research. The lectures report on research and developments at GSI and FAIR, but also on current topics from other fields of science and technology. The aim of the series is to prepare and present the scientific processes in a way that is understandable for laypersons in order to make the research accessible to a broad public. The lectures are held by GSI and FAIR staff members or by external speakers from universities and research institutes. (CP)
