Learning Outcome
After successful participation in the module the student can
use the basic methods of literature retrieval, condense their knowlegde from scientific papers into a presentation and obtain presentation skills.
They have learned about detectors, detection technics, and analysis methods in astro-particle physics.
Preconditions
Engagement
