This course is an introduction to subatomic physics, that is, the physics of nuclei and particles.
More specifically, the following questions are addressed: - What are the concepts of particle physics and how are they implemented? - What are the properties of atomic nuclei and how can they be used? - How are particles accelerated and detected and their properties measured? - What is learned from the reactions of particles at high energies and the disintegrations of particles? - How do electromagnetic interactions work and how can they be used? - How do strong interactions work and why are they difficult to understand? - How do weak interactions work and why are they so special? - What is the mass of objects at the subatomic level and how does the Higgs boson intervene? - How do you search for new phenomena beyond the known ones? - What can be learned from particle physics about astrophysics and the Universe as a whole? The course is structured in eight modules.
Continuing with the first one that introduces our topic, modules 2 (nuclear physics) and 3 (accelerators and detectors) are quite autonomous and can be studied separately.
Modules 4 to 6 delve into matter and forces as described in the standard model of particle physics.
Module 7 deals with our ways of looking for new phenomena.
And the last module introduces you to two mysterious components of the Universe, namely Dark Matter and Dark Energy.
