Fermilab | The unseen universe: Challenges for theory and experiment – Public lecture by Dr. Marcela Carena @fermilab | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 31 minutes ago
In this lecture, Marcela Carena, head of the Theory Division at Fermilab and professor of physics at the University of Chicago, talks about “The unseen universe: Challenges for theory and experiment.” She explains how theorists think about the Higgs boson, neutrinos, dark matter and the exciting results from the Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment announced last year, and how these ideas can lead to new experiments and discoveries. The lecture is part I of the virtual lecture series, “How to do big science,” hosted by the Fermilab Arts & Lectures At Home Series.
Carena’s research explores the possible connections between the Higgs boson, dark matter and the origin of matter in the early universe. Her work has dived into concepts such as supersymmetry and warped extra dimensions, and her research focuses on how these ideas can be tested in experiments. She works closely with physicists who work on experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, to create and implement strategies for discovery. Her current research interests include the boundary between particle physics and quantum information, with an eye on tackling problems of quantum theory and the early universe.
This lecture was presented on January 28, 2022, as part of the Fermilab Arts & Lectures At Home Series.
