Unveiling CERN's Past and Future: Valerie Domcke and Verena Kain at The Third Collisions Event

In a week's time, The Third Collisions event will feature key talks from CERN experts Valerie Domcke and Verena Kain, providing unique perspectives on the current research being done at CERN.

Valerie Domcke: The Early Universe as a Particle Physics Laboratory.

Valerie Domcke, a theoretical physicist at CERN with a background in early universe cosmology, will explore the cosmic tapestry, illustrating the evolution from a primordial plasma to the present-night sky. This keynote will delve into energy scales beyond current colliders' reach, offering insights into particle physics through the lens of cosmology.
 

Verena Kain: Shaping the Future with AI

Verena Kain, CERN Accelerator Physicist, will focus on the future of particle accelerators. Her talk highlights the need for new operational models, emphasising flexibility, faster turnaround times, and reduced energy consumption. Verena will spotlight AI's role in revolutionising accelerator operations, showcasing applications within CERN's sector under the Efficient Particle Accelerators project. The audience can anticipate a glimpse into the ambitious goals for CERN's accelerator fleet over the next five years.

As CERN continues to push the boundaries of human understanding, these talks by Valerie Domcke and Verena Kain provide a comprehensive glimpse into the Organization's rich history and its ambitious, AI-powered future in the realm of particle physics.
