Prof. Norbert Wermes, Dr. Eckhard von Törne, summer term 2010 Tutorial: Balint Radics, Götz Gaycken, Vadim Kostyukhin |
- This is a lecture on physics at high energy colliders - mostly physics at the Large Hadron Collider. The University of Bonn participates in the ATLAS experiment at the LHC and contributed significantly to the building of the experiment and now contributes to the operation of the detector and the analysis of its data. This lecture serves as an excellent preparation for students interested in experimental research at high energy colliders.
- First lecture: Tuesday, April 13th.
Tuesdays 14-16 (start 14:15) Physikalisches Institut (PI) Hörsaal-1,
Wednesdays 8-10 (start 8:15) Hörsaal, IAP
- Contakt for exercises:
- Balint Radics, PI room 265, Web-site
