Introduction to particle sources and accelerators.Theory of particle interaction with matter and signal formation.Basics and concepts of particle detectors.Momentum reconstruction, calorimetry and particle identification techniques.Simulation methods, readout electronics, trigger and data acquisition.Examples of key experiments.

Theoretical basis and selected experiments to determine the properties of neutrinos and their interactions (mass, spin, helicity, chirality, oscillations, charge-parity violation, interactions with leptons and quarks) and implications on physics beyond the Standard Model of elementary particles as well as on Cosmology.

The concepts and computational techniques acquired in the context of QED and QCD (during the Phenomenology of Particle Physics I course) will be applied and expanded to the weak interaction and electroweak theory. Spontaneous symmetry breaking and the Higgs mechanism will also be introduced completing the description of the Standard Model of particle physics.
