Online Event: Invisible messengers: How neutrinos reveal the secrets of supernovae
6pm UK Time | Tuesday 10th September 2024
As massive stars reach their fiery demise, collapsing in on themselves before exploding as supernovae, they emit a fleeting burst of neutrinos before the dazzling light show begins. In this talk, Kate Scholberg will delve into the world of vast underground detectors designed to capture these elusive messengers, offering an early glimpse into the impending supernova. By studying these neutrinos, we can reveal what’s really going on inside these cosmic explosions and even give us the chance to witness the birth of black holes.
Kate Scholberg is an American and Canadian neutrino physicist whose research has included experimental studies of neutrino oscillation, neutrino scattering and the detection of supernovae. She is currently the Arts & Sciences Distinguished Professor of Physics and Bass Fellow at Duke University.
What's included in your ticket:
- Live lecture lasting 60 minutes including Q&A with Kate Scholberg
- On-demand access to a recording of the lecture and Q&A for 12 months
