| 402-0719-BSL | Particle Physics at PSI (Paul Scherrer Institute)  | 8 credits | 15P | A. Soter, A. S. Antognini | |
| Abstract | During semester break in Summer 6-12 students stay for 3 weeks at PSI and participate in a hands-on course on experimental particle physics. A small real experiment is performed in common, including apparatus design, construction, running and data analysis. The course includes some lectures, but the focus lies on the practical aspects of experimenting. | ||||
| Learning objective | Students learn all the different steps it takes to perform a complete particle physics experiment in a small team. They acquire skills to do this themselves in the team, including design, construction, data taking and data analysis. | ||||
