Experimental Nuclear and Particle Physics

3 Credits.

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to nuclear and particle physics, with a focus on both fundamental principles and experimental methods. We begin by exploring nuclear structure, decay processes, and reactions before transitioning to particle physics, covering the Standard Model, symmetries, conservation laws, and the properties of fundamental particles. Theoretical concepts will be closely tied to experimental techniques, including particle beams, target systems, detector electronics, and various particle detection methods. Key experiments will be examined to highlight the connection between theory and discovery.
