The main themes of the course relate to:
- Cosmology and the evolution of the Universe
- Dark matter and
- Cosmic radiation of charged particles, neutrinos, and gammas as well as gravitational waves.
The subject “cosmology and evolution of the universe“ covers
- cosmological models and parameters,
- cosmological distances and related measurements,
- the matter/antimatter problem,
- the synthesis of light elements,
- the cosmic microwave background radiation,
- structure formation in the universe,
- the formation, classification and development of galaxies,
- active galactic nuclei and galaxy clusters
- the formation, energy budget, development, and final stages of stars,
- nucleosynthesis in stars.
The theme “dark matter"covers
- the evidence,
- potential candidates,
- direct and indirect searches
Keywords important for the chapter on “cosmic rays” are:
- sources, composition, propagation, and detection of charged cosmic radiation,
- sources and detection of resolved and diffuse gamma-ray sources,
- determination of neutrino properties (oscillations, direct mass measurement, neutrino-less double beta decay),
- sources and detection of terrestrial and astrophysical neutrinos,
- the theory and prospective sources of gravitational waves,
- indirect and direct detection of gravitational waves.
