How to Record a Ghost: Getting Data Out of Particle Physics Detectors – Dr. Wes Ketchum – Virtual

Particle physicists are constantly on the hunt for new discoveries about the fundamental nature of our universe. Whether it’s searching for new particles in supercolliders, exploring the expansion of the universe, or trying to capture the interactions of “ghostly” neutrinos, particle physicists build giant, state-of-the-art detectors to illuminate these mysteries. But, how do we get the data out of these detectors? And how do we cleverly and quickly find the data that is the most interesting to explore? Come along as we talk about the challenges of getting data out of particle physics detectors, and the tricks and techniques we use to record rare particle interactions in real time.
