World experts on the nature of the universe have come to campus this week (Oct. 12-14) for the inaugural symposium of the Center for Cosmology and Astro-Particle Physics. Attendees will set the research priorities to enable fundamental breakthroughs in the next 10 years. Among the questions they will discuss: What is the nature of dark matter and dark energy? And what are the origins of high-energy cosmic rays? A special public lecture by University of Wisconsin-Madison physicist Francis Halzen will reveal how researchers are using ice at the bottom of the world to capture some of the most energetic particles in the universe. The lecture will take place tonight, (Monday October 12) at 7:30 p.m. in rm. E0001 Scott Laboratory (201 W. 19th Ave.).
