10:15 am 11:30am141 Loomis Laboratory of PhysicsWhen lead nuclei collide at near light speed in CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, they create the hottest matter in the universe, the Quark-Gluon Plasma, a state that existed moments after the Big Bang. University of Illinois researchers developed radiation-hard detectors to study how this plasma forms and evolves, advancing the quest to recreate matter from the dawn of time.
