Course description and aims
Following the undergraduate course Particle Physics, students will acquire more advanced details of the standard model for representing the system and interaction of particles, based on historical experimental facts. Particle physics has developed with advances in Lagrange representations from theory and particle measurements from experiments. The instructor will also introduce original articles that let students experience the intertwining of theoretical predictions and experimental discoveries.
The purpose of this course is for students to grasp the theoretical background, while using diagrams of measurement results actually obtained from various experiments on measurement equipment, to aid understanding.
The lecture is partially given in English.
Student learning outcomes
During the course, the Standard Model of the particle physics is explained with the historical discoveries/measurements. A practical and advanced knowledge of the detectors used in the high energy physics will be obtained. A general knowledge for the varieties of topics from low energy to high energy particle physics will be obtained.
Keywords
elementary particles, the Standard Model, electrons, muons, neutrinos, quarks, leptons, Higgs boson, collider, particle tracker, momentum measurements, energy measurements, the physics beyond the standard model
