Präzisionsexperimente in der Teilchenphysik bei niedrigen Energien

What it is about

You engage in highly precise experiments in particle physics at low energies. In the end, you will understand which experimental methods are used to demonstrate phenomena such as neutrino mass, electric dipole moments, WIMP searches, or tests of Lorentz invariance, and you will be able to exemplarily explain experimental techniques and sensitivity questions.

What you will be able to do

• Understand experimental evidence for neutrino mass
• Assess how precision measurements reach sensitivity beyond the Standard Model
• Describe the technique for measuring electric dipole moments
• Understand experimental strategies for the detection of WIMPs
• Explain experimental tests of Lorentz invariance
• Apply statistical methods to experimental questions

What the module consists of

• VorlesungDelivery of experimental methods, examples and background knowledge
• Seminar/ÜbungDiscussion of original literature and example calculations

Teaching method

• Vortrag und Diskussionfor an introduction to methods and discussion of original research papers
• Analyse originaler Fachartikelto develop current results and techniques directly from the literature
