Responsibles Teachers Assistants Description Particle physics deals with the fundamental building blocks of matter and their interactions.
The exploration of subatomic physics started in 1896 with Becquerel's discovery of radioactivity; and J.J.Thomson's discovery of the electron as a component of the atom; which was followed by Rutherford’s discovery of the atomic nuclei in 1911.
With the further development of experimental tools, theoretical understanding and an impressive world-wide ongoing experimental program, often involving powerful particle accelerator, quarks and leptons have been discovered and identified as the fundamental building blocks of all matter in the Universe.Training objectives This course gives an introduction in the objectives, tools and methods of particle and nuclear physics in six chapters:
