The force awakens: Quantum collisions
Last weekend our friends and neighbours at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cambridge put on a great event: the Mathematics Discovery Day, part of the Cambridge Festival. Among the may hands-on activities, games and pop-up explorations were the hugely popular, and well-attended, workshops for students delivered by our colleagues Liz and Charlie from NRICH. Our brilliant colleague Julia Hawkins herded academics and volunteers, juggled props and generally made sure that everything went smoothly. At the same time our partners at the Isaac Newton Institute next door hosted one of our favourite physicists: Ben Allanach...

Jo Brand's Quantum World
Brian Cox and Robin Ince are subject to a non-hostile takeover by comedian and non-physicist Jo Brand, as she challenges the panel to help her understand the almost unbelievable world of cheeky particles who may or may not be in several places at once. To help Jo get to grips with the bizarre and strange world of our quantum universe, Brian and Robin are joined by theoretical physicist Prof Ben Allanach from the University of Cambridge and cosmologist Prof Fay Dowker from Imperial College London, who introduce Jo to the weird and wonderful ways of quantum theory, dead and...

Have physicists discovered a fifth force of nature?
In the summer we came across news coverage claiming that scientist were on the verge of discovering a fundamental force of nature they hadn't previously known about. This would be a fifth force, in addition to gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. Such a discovery would be quite a revolution, so we went to talk to our friend Ben Allanach, Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge, to find out more. Ben explained the science, gave us his personal hunch regarding the experimental results, and provided a fascinating glimpse into life at th...

Between Two Curators
Looking for “Incredibly Tiny” Particles with Quantum Physicist Ben Allanach
We have a fascinating conversation with Ben Allanach about his quest to find new particles and forces (Z-Primes anyone?) by smashing together other particles, how science is both beautiful and creative, and how he became involved with an intergalactic travel agency. Ben is Professor of Theoretical Physics in the Theoretical High Energy Particle Physics Group at the University of Cambridge, a Visiting Scientist at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, and also a Quantum Selves artist.Ben’s Profile Page at U of CambridgeSupport the show

The Slump podcast
The Slump 242
This week's Slump is incredibly useful. Not only do we give you an insightful guide to getting the job of your dreams, but we also speak to Cambridge Professor of Theoretical Physics, Ben Allanach, to teach us all about quantum physics. Well, not ALL about quantum physics, but he definitely made some of it easier to understand.

Professor Ben Allanach: The Dark Matter Mystery and the Large Hadron Collider
The existence of dark matter solves some mysteries in astronomical observations, and fits in with the measurements of the afterglow of the big bang. Otherwise, it is hypothetical stuff for which there is currently no direct evidence. In this talk, we shall go on a journey to the unimaginably huge and the incredibly tiny, from back to a blink in an eye after the big bang to the present day. Along the way, I shall describe one of the main reasons that we believe in dark matter, and describe how the Large Hadron Collider might feasibly produce enough of it...
