Advanced detectors and data analysis

Lectures: 30 hours
Problem classes: 15 hours

 

Program

Introduction, overview of detectors, interaction of particles and photons with matter

 

Detector systems in nuclear and elementary particle physics: magnetic spectrometers, detectors for the e+e colliders (Belle, BaBar, Belle II), detectors for the LHC (ATLAS), detectors for experiments with a fixed target and forward spectrometers (HERA- B, LHCb), experiments deep underground (search for dark matter and neutrino experiments), experiments in elementary particle astrophysics.

 

Data analysis and processing: From raw data to reaction analysis; using advanced statistical tools and machine learning

 

Conditions: attending lectures, written exam, oral exam
