Course No.: 08.128.806
Course Type: Vorlesung/Übung
Requirements / organisational issues
The lecture connects to the content of "Experimental Physics (Nuclear and Particle Physics)" and "Particle Physics" and should enable a deeper understanding of the fundamental building blocks of matter and their interactions.By default, the lecture is held in English. German is possible upon mutual agreement.
Digital teaching
Further information, material for lectures and exercises, etc. is provided on the JGU's LMS eLearning platform.Participants registered in Jogustine should automatically have access to the corresponding course in LMS.
Contents
The lecture is divided into four blocks: collider physics, axions, CP violation and neutrino physics.In the first block, the basic principles of accelerator physics and large multi-purpose detectors are introduced and deepened. Special attention is paid to the detector physics. The principles of jet physics, as well as Higgs physics and searches beyond the Standard Model are dealt with in depth.
In the second block topics of neutrino physics are dealt with. In addition to their oscillations and mixing, there is a focus on the search for sterile neutrinos, Majorana neutrinos (neutrinoless double beta decay), and geoneutrinos. Particular attention is paid to the detector technology (Cherenkov, scintillation and hybrid detectors).
The third block deals with the search for CP violation in the weak interaction. Historical results of the quark sector as well as recent results of the lepton sector are discussed. Their importance in the context of baryongenesis via the Sakharov criteria is highlighted.
In the fourth block the strong CP problem is introduced and searches for axions and axion-like particles are discussed. Special focus is on the current three experimental methods. Axion-like particles are also associated with results from cosmology/astrophysics/astronomy (transparency of the universe, solar models, evolution of the universe).
