Found 9 relevant results in 2.35s where lecturer="Urs Langenegger"
The lecture gives an overview of the physics at high-energycolliders. After the introduction of the theoretical concepts, themost important applications are described in detail: the production ofjets, heavy quarks, and electroweak gauge bosons. The experimentalprogram at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN is also discussed, withspecial emphasis on the postulated Higgs particle.
Doctoral Student Seminar in Nuclear and Particle Physics
Doktorierendenseminar über Kern- und Teilchenphysik
Seminar for PhD students
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.
The program covers theoretical and experimental aspects of flavorphysics. Topics include the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix,particle anti-particle mixing and CP violation in B and K mesondecays.Effective field theories and their application to rare B mesondecays are presented. Experimental aspects at B factories andhadron colliders are discussed.

Laboratory Course in Particle Physics at PSI
Teilchenphysik am PSI
During semester breaks 6-12 students stay for 3 weeks at PSIand participate in a hands-on course on experimental particle physics, wherea small but real experiment is performed in common, includingdesign, construction, running and analysis.The exact date is determined by the PSI beam schedule.
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.
