Szintillator- und Cherenkov-Detektoren
Instructors: Stefan SchoppmannShortname: 08.128.7025
Course No.: 08.128.7025
Course Type: Vorlesung
Requirements / organisational issues
The lecture connects to the content of "Experimental Physics 5b (Nuclear and Particle Physics)" and should enable a deeper understanding of detection techniques in particle physics.By default, the lecture is held in English. German is possible upon mutual agreement.
Digital teaching
Further information, course material, etc. is provided on the JGU's LMS eLearning platform.Participants registered in Jogustine get access to the corresponding course in LMS automatically.
Contents
In this course we will examine the effect of scintillation and the Vavilov-Cherenkov effect in detail. In particular, we will discuss how scintillation light and Cherenkov light can be used to detect radiation and particles in particle detectors.We will learn how to use such particle detectors using examples from collider physics (e.g. CMS, ATLAS), neutrino physics (e.g. Double Chooz, SNO, JUNO, Super-Kamiokande), searches for dark matter (e.g. XENON, AMS), cosmic ray observatories (e.g. Pierre Auger) and medical physics (e.g. PET scanner).
Towards the end of the semester we will look at new ideas for scintillation and Cherenkov detectors. These are currently being developed in Mainz, among other places, and could be used in particle physics or medical physics in the next few years.
