  1. Understanding the nature of matter - Using GRIDS to compute from the smallest to the largest scales

  2. PARTICLE PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY RESEARCH COUNCIL • UK Agency for the support of: • High Energy Physics - the nature of matter and mass • Particle Astrophysics - laws from natural phenomena • Astronomy - the nature and origin of the Universe • Solar System - the nature of the Sun and its planets Science GRIDs for Science

  3. We are “fairly sure” that there is a lot of stuff in the Universe which we don’t know about- School Talk, 2001 Now things have got much clearer: we are now much more certain that we know absolutely nothing about most of the Universe- School Talk, 2003

  4. Cosmic Pie Heavy Elements: 0.03% Neutrinos: 0.47% Stars: 0.5% Free H & He: 4% Dark Matter: 25% Dark Energy: 70% Source of slide: Kolb

  5. DSS Optical IRAS 25m 2MASS 2m GB 6cm ROSAT ~keV WENSS 92cm NVSS 20cm IRAS 100m Virtual Observatories Observations made across entire electromagnetic spectrum See AstroGrid Talks by Nic Walton (wed)Guy Rixon (thurs) Different views of a local galaxyNeed all of them to understand physics fully Databases are located throughout the world

  6. Particle Physics Astronomy & Astro- Physics

  7. Mechanism of explaining the mass of matter still awaits a crucial verification: discovery of the “HIGGS” particle There are many possible explanations of “dark matter” based upon undiscovered particles

  8. ? HIGGS Super Symmetric Particles ? 1. Take matter and anti-matter 2. Accelerate and collide 3. annihilate to produceenergy 4. new particles are made from the energy

  9. CERN Large Hadron Collider • The world’s most powerful particle accelerator • Due to turn on in 2007 • Will collide protons at 7 Tera Electon Volts….

  10. ATLAS • general purpose: origin of mass, supersymmetry, micro-black holes • 2,000 scientists from 34 countries • CMS • general purpose detector • muon tracking, electromagnetic calorimeter, central tracking and hadron calorimeter • LHCb • to study the differences between matter and antimatter • producing over 100 million b and b-bar mesons each year • ALICE • heavy ion collisions, to create quark-gluon plasmas • 50,000 particles in each collision 4 LHC Experiments

  11. proton (or anti-proton) proton ... Proton collisions produce a lot of debris ....

  12. The LHC Data Challenge Each event is complicated: Typical Selectivity: 1 in 1011 Like looking for 1 person in a ten world populations Or for a needle in 200,000 haystacks!
