Broader course for engineers
Particle & Astroparticle Physics for non-Physicists
Frank Simon (KIT)
Abstract
This course will give an introduction to particle and astroparticle physics, with the aim of providing context and background information for students engaged in research on technical topics related to experiments in those fields. It will cover:
- Fundamental particles and their interactions
- The basic structure of the Universe
- Open Questions
- Particle acceleration in the Laboratory and in the Universe
- The basics of high energy physics and astroparticle physics experiments
The discussions will be on a qualitative level, without diving into mathematical details.
