Seminar for PhD students

Theoretical concepts and selected experiments; Majorana and Dirac neutrinos; C, P, and T properties, magnetic and electric dipole moments, quantum Majorana field, mixing matrix.

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.

This course gives a first introduction to Physics. The emphasis is on classical mechanics, up to Newton's theory of gravitation, as well as oscillations. In addition there will be an introduction to thermodynamics.

Introduction to the way physicists think and work with the help of concept questions, demonstration experiments and problem solving. Wherever possible, applications from thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism are taught from the areas of the degree programmes.
