The Invisible Universe
Join Professor Antonella De Santo for a public talk at the University of Sussex as she explores one of the most intriguing puzzles in science - the nature of dark matter.
“The universe contains vast amounts of exotic, invisible matter, unseen through telescopes, and only seen to interact through gravity. Understanding the nature of dark matter will help us understand how the universe works.”
Professor De Santo leads the Sussex team working on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN where dark matter is searched for in high-energy particle collisions. She leads a newly formed Sussex team working on the design of the next-generation direct dark matter experiment XLZD, seeking to conduct their research at the Boulby deep underground laboratory in North Yorkshire.
"The search for dark matter is a quest for our origins. We care about it because we are human, and we want to know where we come from.”
