| Aims of the course | To prepare a master student for doctoral studies and for active research work in Particle Physics. | |||||||||
| Learning outcomes | Students should gain the contemporary knowledge in Particle Physics at least at the level that would enable them to commence the active research in this field. | |||||||||
| Contents of the course | ||||||||||
| Lectures | The
course is composed of lectures on the base of Theoretical and Experimental
High Energy Physics which comprises: Particles Phenomenology and Fundamental
Interactions in nature, Interactions of charged particles and electromagnetic
radiation with matter at high energies, the most importand elements of the
Standard model, basis elements of (Super Symmetry) models pretending to
extend the Standard modeld (physics beyond the Standard model), Complex
detectors in Experimental Particle Physics, Phenomena and actual research
programmes in High Energy Physics (examples: studies of specific Higgs decay
channels, search for signatures of supersymmetric particles, studies of
phenomena in Heavy Ion interactions at relativistic energies,...). Practical lectures: the use of computer programmes for data analyses and studies of events obtained in particle physics experiments |
