Introduction to Subatomic Physics R 1100-3Ind02
Program:
1. Historical introduction, overview of great discoveries in the last 120 years.
2. Methods and tools of subatomic physics, accelerators, interaction of radiation with matter, detectors.
3. Atomic nucleus and its properties.
4. Nuclear models: liquid drop, Fermi and shell model.
5. Radioactivity.
6. Fundamental particles and interactions.
7. Elementary processes and Feynman diagrams.
8. C, P, T symmetries.
9. Neutrino physics.
10. Astroparticle physics and nucleosynthesis.
The exercises besides exemplifying the lectures through problem solving, will have the additional aim of discussing some of the experimental aspects of discussed material.
