Requirements / organisational issues:
The lecture connects to the content of "Experimental Physics 5b (Nuclear and Particle Physics)" and should enable a deeper understanding of detection techniques in particle physics.
By default, the lecture is held in English. German is possible upon mutual agreement.
Contents:
In this course we will examine the effect of scintillation and the Vavilov-Cherenkov effect in detail. In particular, we will discuss how scintillation light and Cherenkov light can be used to detect radiation and particles in particle detectors.
We will learn how to use such particle detectors using examples from collider physics (e.g. CMS, ATLAS), neutrino physics (e.g. Double Chooz, SNO, JUNO, Super-Kamiokande, DUNE), and medical physics (e.g. PET scanner).
Towards the end of the semester we will look at new ideas for scintillation and Cherenkov detectors. These are currently being developed in Mainz, among other places, and could be used in particle physics or medical physics in the next few years.
Digital teaching:
