Aanbieding 1 met studiegidsnummer 4015948FNR voor alle studenten in het 1e semester met een gespecialiseerd master niveau.
A review is given on modern particle detector technologies. Challenges and techniques regarding signal readout and data aggregation are discussed. Next, we will focus on reconstruction of collected data, for example reconstruction of tracks of charged particles and other high-level physics objects. Beyond that, we elaborate on techniques of data analysis and interpretion. The course focuses on particle physics experiments eg. around the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.
If desired, these lectures can be partly organised via teleclassing, provided the lecture rooms are available. [Teleclassing refers to an advanced videoconferencingsystem, where the lectures are live broadcasted to one or more locations elsewhere. Students in Brussels can then attend lectures in Brussels, and students from an other institutes elsewhere. Interaction with all participating students remains always possible.]
The lectures are given with transparancies of which the students can download a copy.
The student has acquired in-depth knowledge on the aggregation, reconstruction, and analysis of data with modern particle-detection techniques at particle-physics experiments. Therefore, the student will be equipped with tools to perform research at for example particle accelerators.
