Contents:
This course provides an overview of the detection, read-out and analysis techniques used in particle, hadron, nuclear, and astroparticle physics. The goal is to provide a solid basis for the successful completion of a master’s thesis.
Cross disciplinary aspects (solid state physics, electronics, mathematics, and computer science) play important roles. Therefore the course is also suitable to students that focus on other areas of physics.
Content:
•Particle sources and accelerators;
•Detection methods for charged and neutral radiation;
•Data acquisition;
•Particle detectors to measure time, energy, momentum and particle type;
•Applications.
