Overview
<p>The overall goal of the course is to give a broad perspective of the field and to highlight some surprising and intriguing aspects of particle physics such as anti-matter, neutrino oscillations, quark confinement, and the Higgs mechanism.</p><p><span style="color:#2a2a2a">Which are the fundamental constituents of matter and which forces act upon them? Particle Physics is the subject that addresses the fundamental principles governing our world, and how the fundamental constituents of matter interact with each other to produce the world we see. This understanding is formulated mathematically by the theory known as the Standard Model. In this course the constituents and forces in the Standard Model will be introduced.</span><br /><span style="color:#2a2a2a"></span><br /><span style="color:#2a2a2a">The Experimental aspect of the course covers both the technical principles of large accelerators, such as the 27 km circumference Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at </span><span style="color:#2a2a2a">CERN, and the detector technologies of the experiments measuring the particles produced in the collisions produced by the accelerator.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#2a2a2a">Finally, theory and experiment comes together in the discussion of possible </span><span style="color:#2a2a2a">extensions of the Standard Model, such as candidates for Dark Matter and Supersymmetric particles, and the experimental techniques used to search for them.</span><br /><br /> Language of instruction</p> <p>The course is taught in English.</p>
