- Contents
- Specific insight in particle physics
- Reference texts
- Provided by the teacher
- Educational objectives
- A more in depth understanding of the main open topics in Particle Physics
- Prerequisites
- It is strongly suggested to have passed the "Elementary Particle Physics" exam.
- Teaching methods
- Lessons and seminars.
- Other information
- suggested skills: subatomic physics, field theory and elementary particle physics
- Learning verification modality
- Students will be requested to:
1) during the course: provide a presentation to the classroom based on one of the arguments discussed during the first half of the study program
2) end of the course: provide a written report starting from a scientific publication choosen by the teacher
3) oral test - Extended program
- The aim of the course is to provide a more in depth understanding of the major items covered by the course on Elementary Particle Physics of the previous year. The main emphasis is on the phenomenological studies that can shed light on New Physics beyond the Standard Model. In particular there will be a discussion of the experiments, both at the energy frontier and at the intensity frontier, complementary for a better understanding of the High Energy Physics. Main topics covered will be:
electron positron interaction experiments at the intensity frontier and future experiments at the energy frontier.
Physics of the B mson, decay with violation of the flavor.
A series of seminars will cover the activities of the groups working at Perugia, so that the students may be helped in choosing a subject for their thesis.
