DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Manuella Vincter (Carleton University\, ATLAS)\nOne 
 of the goals of particle physics is to explain the structure of matter at 
 the smallest distance scales. For decades\, the properties of the basic bu
 ilding blocks of matter have been investigated in ever greater detail. How
 ever\, even today some profound but simple questions\, such as the origins
  of dark matter in the universe\, remain unanswered. The attempt to unders
 tand the material world around us in the simplest possible terms has invol
 ved ingenious feats of scientific sleuthing. Such fundamental questions ar
 e being addressed by using the ATLAS experiment to look at the high-energy
  collisions produced at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. These energetic co
 llisions provide\, for a brief instant\, the energy necessary to produce n
 ew forms of matter\, as was done a fraction of a second after the big bang
 . This presentation will illustrate how we use a very large-scale collider
  to probe the incredibly small\, which can provide answers to questions on
  a universal scale!\n\n\nShort bio:\n\nManuella Vincter is a Canada Resear
 ch Professor of Physics at Carleton University and a Fellow of the Royal S
 ociety of Canada. Her primary research focus is with the ATLAS experiment 
 at the CERN Laboratory in Geneva\, Switzerland where she is the ATLAS Depu
 ty Spokesperson. ATLAS is one of the defining experiments of its generatio
 n\; its results help elucidate such fundamental questions of physics as th
 e origins of mass and the existence of dark matter in the universe.\n\nhtt
