Table-top-Präzisionsexperimente in der fundamentalen Physik

What it is about

You will gain an overview of table-top precision experiments that complement large-scale facilities in addressing fundamental questions of particle and nuclear physics as well as gravitation. You will learn the physical motivation, typical measurement methods and experimental challenges, and at the end you will be able to classify the strengths, limitations and results of selected precision measurements.

What you will be able to do

• Reproduce an overview of table-top precision measurements
• Explain the relation of the experiments to the Standard Model
• Describe experimental methods in this field
• Assess the strengths and limitations of the methods

What the module consists of

• VorlesungPresentation of the thematic contents and linking to universal concepts; integration into scientific discussions
• ÜbungDeepen understanding based on problem examples and computational tasks and promote independent explanation

Teaching method

• thematisch strukturierte Vorlesungshows contents with cross-references between topics and promotes analytical-physical thinking
• wissenschaftliche DiskussionenInclusion of students to promote independent thinking
• ÜbungsaufgabenIllustration of experimental aspects and deepening understanding through calculation and application tasks
