Requirements / organisational issues:
Knowledge at the level of the module Experimental Physics 5b "Nuclear and Particle Physics" is recommended. If in doubt, ask the lecturer.
This is not a traditional lecture. The event is designed as a so-called "flipped classroom". You can find out what that is here. The learners independently adapt the content provided digitally by the teachers, mostly at home. The face-to-face event is used to deepen what has been learned together. The teaching material is compiled from book chapters, scientific papers and conference presentations and is worked out independently. Instead of a lecture, there is a plenary event in which the previously learned is consolidated, but not repeated.
Compulsory attendance:
Attendance at the lecture is strongly recommended, as this is the only way to deepen and understand the previously learned material. Part of successful participation is also summarizing the material learned for the benefit of others present.
