An elementary particle physicist is coming to Sonoma State University to talk about a mysterious aspect of the Universe.
Helen Quinn will speak on "The Mystery of the Missing Antimatter" on Monday, November 10, at 4:00 p.m. in room 103, Darwin Hall. Coffee, cookies, and conversation will be available in the Darwin lobby at 3:30.
Quinn is a past president of the American Physical Society, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and the coauthor of a new book with the same title as her lecture. The book will be available at the lecture.
A theoretical physicist at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Quinn has received several awards for her research, including the Dirac Medal of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, awarded in 2000 for "pioneering contributions to the quest for a unified theory of quarks and leptons and of the strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions."
The free public lecture is part of a series, "What Physicists Do," presented by the SSU Department of Physics and Astronomy with financial support from private individuals, mostly members of the community who attend the lectures.
