How to record a ghost particle – Public lecture by Dr. Wes Ketchum

Scientists at Fermilab hunt for 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 ghost particles known as neutrinos, they collaborate with people around the world to build giant, state-of-the-art particle detectors to illuminate these mysteries. But, how do you get the data out of these detectors? And how do you cleverly and quickly find the data that is the most interesting to explore? In this presentation Dr. Wes Ketchum discusses the tricks and techniques that particle physicists use to record rare subatomic interactions in real time and the challenges they encounter. Dr. Wes Ketchum is a scientist at Fermilab, where he analyzes data recorded by physics experiments to study neutrino interactions and look for new kinds of particles. In addition, he helps design the systems to collect the data, focusing on data acquisition systems for neutrino experiments. Before joining Fermilab, he studied supernovae at the University of Oklahoma. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, analyzing high-energy particle interactions produced by the Tevatron collider at Fermilab.
