Learning outcomes
|
The aim is to provide broader insight into particle physics: modern experiments and detection techniques, basis of standard model of elementary particles and search for processes beyond the standard model.
Synthesis Recognize and formulate problems of modern particle physics. Propose detector setup for given types of measurements. Summarize the participation of Czech groups in international particle physics experiments.

Prerequisites
|
Course is devoted mainly to students (but others can also attend) with thesis topic related to astroparticle physics (e.g. AUGER project) or particle physics (e.g. ATLAS experiment). Master students course of Introduction to exp. high energy physics would be advantage (SLO/EFVE).
