Proseminars and Semester Papers To organise a semester project take contact with one of the instructors. Not all lecturers are directly eligible in myStudies if "Professors" is the required type of lecturers. In such cases please take contact with the Study Administration (www.phys.ethz.ch/studies/study-administration.html).

402-0217-MSL	Semester Project in Theoretical Physics	W	9 credits	18A	Supervisors
Abstract	This course unit is an alternative if no suitable "Proseminar Theoretical Physics" is available of if the proseminar is already overbooked.
Learning objective
402-0740-00L	Experimental Foundations of Particle Physics Does not take place this semester.	W	8 credits	4S	not available
Abstract	This experimental proseminar presents an introduction of key experiments in particle physics, the results of which often led to a Nobel Prize in physics. It is meant to be complementary to the "Experimental Methods" course 402-0725-00L which linearly introduces different detector technologies.
Learning objective	This course integrates knowledge of all detector components (tracking, calorimetry, trigger) in discussing the experiments as a whole. It also augments the particle physics master curriculum with more experimental content and is meant to be followed in parallel to PPP II (402-0891-00L) or PPP II (402-0702-00L). It also exposes the students to original papers using the seminal text by Cahn and Goldhaber.
Content	CP Violation, Bs Oscillation, weak and strong interactions, top quark discovery, neutrino oscillations, Discovery of Vectormesons, Foundations of the Standard Model
Literature	Cahn, Goldhaber "Experimental Foundations of Particle Physics" (2nd edition), Cambridge University Press
Prerequisites / Notice	Recommended: Phenomenology of Particle Physics I (or II) (in parallel)
402-0215-MSL	Experimental Semester Project in a Group of the Physics Department	W	9 credits	18A	Professors
Abstract	The aim of the project is to give the student experience in working in a research environment, carrying out physics experiments, analysing and interpreting the resulting data.

402-0717-MSL	Particle Physics at CERN	W	9 credits	18P	F. Nessi-Tedaldi, W. Lustermann
Abstract	During the semester break participating students stay for 4 weeks at CERN and perform experimental work relevant to our particle physics projects. Dates to be agreed upon.
Learning objective	Students learn the needed skills to, and perform a small particle physics experiment: setup, problem solving, data taking, analysis, interpretation and presentation in a written report of publication quality.
Content	Detailed information in: http://www@cmsdoc.cern.ch/~nessif/ETHTeilchenpraktikumCERN.html
Prerequisites / Notice	Language of instruction: English or German
402-0719-MSL	Particle Physics at PSI (Paul Scherrer Institute)	W	9 credits	18P	C. Grab
Abstract	During semester breaks 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.
402-0340-MSL	Medical Physics	W	9 credits	18P	A. J. Lomax, K. P. Prüssmann, M. Rudin
Abstract	In agreement with the lecturers a semester paper in the context of the topics discussed in the lectures can be written.
Learning objective
551-1602-00L	Biophysics for Physicists	W	9 credits	18P	F. Allain
Abstract	This laboratory course is for physics students with the elective subject biophysics. The topic of the work is determined individually, and will be in the context with ongoing research projects. Possible topics are NMR studies with proteins and RNAs including structure determinations in solution, development of novel NMR experiments, studies of protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions.
Learning objective	The students participate in an ongoing research project and they will be tutored by PhD students or postdoctoral fellows. The students describe the context and the results of the work in a final report.
