20410581 - EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICS OF FUNDAMENTAL INTERACTIONS

The course provides the notions of experimental physics of elementary particles.
The course deals with both experimental and theoretical topics whose aim is to allow students to understand the experimental and theoretical path that led to the formulation of the Standard Model of fundamental interactions as we know it today. The fundamental experiments and discoveries starting from the discovery of elementary particles in cosmic rays up to the production of the vector bosons W and Z and of the Higgs boson are illustrated in detail.
At the end of the course the student will have a broad view of particle physics from an experimental point of view, and sufficient knowledge of the theoretical tools necessary to understand its mechanisms.

The course is supported by an exercise section whose aim is to reinforce the level of understanding of the topics covered and the calculation methods of the elementary processes, as well as allow students to apply the techniques learned for the calculation of some processes and the relationships between they exist.
The course is aimed at all students and those who undertake a path of elementary particle physics that not, providing the basics of physics of elementary particles

3. D. Scroeder, M. Peskin, "An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory"
4. S. Weinberg, "The Quantum Theory of Fields"

Type of delivery of the course

The lessons will be held frontally with the aid of the chalkboard for the illustration of the basic concepts, the carrying out of the necessary athematic passages and a video projector for the visualization of the experimental apparatus schemes, graphs and tables. The exercises are also carried out on the blackboard for the presentation of the exercises and their solution.

Type of evaluation

The exam includes a written test in which students will have to calculate the cross section of some elementary processes, solve relativistic kinematics exercises, answer open and closed-ended questions on the fundamental notions illustrated during the lessons. Students who successfully pass the written test are admitted to the oral exam where they will have to illustrate the concepts learned, showing mastery of the topics covered and ability to elaborate the concepts and methodologies acquired by applying them to ideal experimental configurations or to the experiments covered during the course.

Type of delivery of the course

The lessons will be held frontally with the aid of the chalkboard for the illustration of the basic concepts, the carrying out of the necessary athematic passages and a video projector for the visualization of the experimental apparatus schemes, graphs and tables. The exercises are also carried out on the blackboard for the presentation of the exercises and their solution.

Type of evaluation

The exam includes a written test in which students will have to calculate the cross section of some elementary processes, solve relativistic kinematics exercises, answer open and closed-ended questions on the fundamental notions illustrated during the lessons. Students who successfully pass the written test are admitted to the oral exam where they will have to illustrate the concepts learned, showing mastery of the topics covered and ability to elaborate the concepts and methodologies acquired by applying them to ideal experimental configurations or to the experiments covered during the course.
