Tests des Standardmodells der Teilchenphysik 2

What it is about

You gain an in-depth understanding of the Standard Model of particle physics and its experimental tests. You will learn how theory and experiment are linked (e.g., perturbation theory, Feynman diagrams), how to interpret current precision measurements and LHC results, and to understand search strategies for phenomena beyond the Standard Model.

What you will be able to do

• Understanding the connection between theory and experiment using perturbation theory and Feynman diagrams
• Interpreting experiments and results from modern particle physics
• Analyzing precision measurements of the electroweak interactions (LEP, Tevatron, LHC)
• Discussing current topics and results of LHC experiments
• Analyzing measurements of CP violation in B-meson decays and searches for rare decays
• Interpreting measurements of neutrino oscillations and neutrino masses
• Understanding searches for new phenomena beyond the Standard Model (e.g., grand unification, supersymmetry, dark matter)
• Applying concepts and functioning of modern particle physics experiments

What the module consists of

• VorlesungConveying fundamental concepts and presentation of significant experimental investigations
• ÜbungDeepening and practicing the Inhalte based on problem examples; preparation for the exam (participation strongly recommended)

Teaching method

• themenstrukturierte Vorlesungfor systematic transmission of theoretical foundations and experimental results
• Diskussion mit Studierendento deepen understanding of the relationships between theory and experiment
• Übungsaufgabento independently apply what has been learned and train typical exam tasks
