Launched by 2006 Nobel Prize Winner George Smoot and 2011 Nobel Prize Winner Saul Perlmutter, the Physics in and Through Cosmology Workshop is accepting applications for the twentieth annual summer workshop. Presented by the Physics Division of the Lawrence Berkeley Lab and QuarkNet, this year’s workshop will be held in person at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory adjacent to the UC Berkeley Campus from 8:30 am – 4 pm Monday June 22 - Friday June 26. It’s a wonderful experience for students to learn from the scientists themselves about the latest theories and research describing the universe. Last year’s program included talks on the ATLAS experiment, Higgs & Particle Physics, CMB, Dark Matter, Dark Energy, Neutrinos & Cosmic Rays, Cosmology, Machine Learning, as well as a drop in visit from a Nobel Prize winner. We will visit various labs and analyze data from particle research. There is no cost for students.
