Von Quarks zu Hadronen: nieder- und mittelenergetischer Bereich

What it is about

You will become familiar with the development of research on strongly interacting particles from early nuclear power experiments to modern investigations of the strong interaction in the low- and medium-energy range. The focus is on experimental methods, the role of symmetries (in particular chiral symmetry), and the treatment of resonances. In the end you will be able to understand the relevant processes and measurements and to actively participate in corresponding experiments as well as carry out estimates for cross sections.

What you will be able to do

• Understand experiments and processes with strongly interacting particles
• Represent elementary interactions of protons, neutrons, pions and other hadrons
• Perform cross section estimates for experimental planning and data analysis
