PROGRAMA: Lecture 1: Introduction to Particle Physics: An Overview. Topics include the Standard Model, fundamental particles, the success of the Standard Model. Lecture 2: Beyond the Standard Model: What we know and don’t know. Topics include quark mixing, lepton mixing, the generation of mass, dark matter, dark energy. Lecture 3: Experimental Particle Physics: An Overview. Topics include the role of accelerators, fixed-target and collider experiments and cosmic-ray experiments. Lecture 4: Introduction to Particle Detectors. Topics include: interaction of particles in matter, energy loss, light detectors, ionization detectors, calorimetry, spectrometers, bolometric detectors. Lecture 5: Experimental Neutrino Physics. Topics include the PMNS matrix, CP-violation in the theta_13 sector, mass hierarchy, the nature of Majorana vs. Dirac neutrinos, experimental limits on all of the above and future experiments. If time allows, proton decay will also be covered. Lecture 6: Status of the NOvA and Long-Baseline Experiments. Topics include a detailed description of the NOvA beam, detector, projected sensitivities and general status of the experiments, followed by a detailed description and the status of the proposed LBNE. Lecture 7: Precision Measurements and Rare Searches with Muons. Topics include MEG, Mu2e and Muon (g-2) experiments and how they counterbalance measurements at the LHC. Lecture 8: Direct and Indirect Searches for Dark Matter. Topics include the dark matter phenomenology, cryogenic crystal detectors, noble liquid detectors, cosmic ray indirect searches, future experiments. Postagem: 19/07/2012 |
