PPARC Science Challenges
• How did the Universe begin and how (and when) will it end?
• How do stars, planets and galaxies form?• Are we alone in the Universe or is there life
elsewhere?• What is the Universe made of and what holds
it together?• Where does mass come from?• How does the Sun work and how does it affect
the Earth?• Why does there seem to be much more matter
in the Universe than anti-matter?

Position Sensitive Detectors and PPARC
• Detector Systems key to PPARC Science• Virtually every conceivable form of
detector employed in PPARC science area– CCDs– Silicon strip– Wire chambers– Hybrid photomultipliers– TES
