- **Event Name**: Deep Talks: Into the Hearts of Stars with CASPAR
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 08 Jan, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Thu, 08 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us for the next Deep Talks as Mark Hanhardt, an experiment support scientist at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) and a Ph.D. candidate in physics at South Dakota Mines,  dives into The Compact Accelerator System for Performing Astrophysical Research (CASPAR).

The fusion reactions that occur in different types of stars make up most of the matter we know in the universe today. But scientists don’t yet fully understand the processes various stars use to forge the elements we see all around us. Mark Hanhardt will discuss how CASPAR, located nearly a mile below the surface at SURF, helps researchers decipher this complex stellar recipe.
