DESCRIPTION:Dark Matter is one of the biggest puzzles in science today. As
 tronomical observations tell us Dark Matter makes up 26% of our universe a
 nd experiences the gravitational force\, yet we still know very little bey
 ond this. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN has been built to try an
 d understand some of the long-standing questions in science. Over 10\,000 
 scientists come together from around the world to run mankind's biggest ex
 periment in history\, discovering the Higgs boson in 2012 that explains th
 e origins of mass\, and continuing to search for new\, exotic particles th
 at could explain Dark Matter. I will introduce the LHC and the largest of 
 the four main detectors\, ATLAS. I'll show you how and why we search for a
  rich array of new particles predicted by Supersymmetry and the latest res
 ults from these searches. As the LHC program moves into its final stage\, 
 what further secrets of the universe will we uncover?\n\nTalks are priced 
 at £4 for non-Scientific Society members. Scientific Society members will
  have free access to all our talks. Lifetime membership costs £15 and giv
 es free access to all talks\, members-only events and priority access to o
 versubscribed SciSoc events.
