Teilchenphysik ohne Beschleuniger

What it is about

You will learn experimental and phenomenological methods with which statements about fundamental properties of elementary particles can be made without earthbound accelerators. Topics include neutrino properties, dark matter, proton decay, and the connections between particle physics and cosmology (e.g. BAU, CMB, structure formation, cosmological constant). In the end you can prepare a current topic from the literature and present it in a lecture.

What you will be able to do

• Literature research in the subject literature
• Preparation of a specific topic from scientific publications
• Give a talk on a current research topic
• Understanding the connections between particle physics and cosmology

What the module consists of

• SeminarCentral role: independent preparation and presentation of a lecture; participation in discussions

Teaching method

• LiteraturrechercheBasis for getting started with a current research topic
• LiteraturstudiumDeepening the chosen topic
• Vortragsvorbereitung und -erstellungTrainability of preparing and presenting scientific results
• Präsentation und DiskussionVerification of learning outcomes and deepening through feedback
