No specific prerequisites are set for this course.
The main purpose of this course is to give an overview of the experimental technique used in particle physics. It covers from the basic principles used to the integration of a full complete detector.
Particle Interactions with matter
Review of electronic circuits and other technical aspects
Detection Techniques
Experimental Design Equipment
Theory lectures, exercises and expositions by the students. Classwork and Homework.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
