PHYS 1378 - INTRODUCTION TO NUCLEAR AND PARTICLE PHYSICS

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course gives an introduction into the theory concepts and the experimental methods used for nuclear and particle physics research. While some of the basic principles will be discussed from a historical perspective, the emphasis of this course is on modern developments, such as the standard model and the Higgs Boson, supersymmtry, extra dimensions, dark matter, CP-violation and baryogenesis, and neutrino oscillations. The main aspects of physics processes will be understood and calculated from symmetry principles and kinematics.
