Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
This lecture provides an overview of the field of particle physics with neutrons. The introductory part deals with the interaction of neutrons with matter. Sources of neutrons, cold and ultra-cold neutrons, as well as instrumentation and the necessary knowledge are explained. In the following, the role of neutrons in the particle and astrophysics will be discussed. Here, the standard model of particle physics is treated with emphasis Neutron Physics and experiments to test the Standard Model of particle physics are presented, such as the measurement of lifetime and decay parameters of the free neutron.
Learning Outcome
After successful completion of this module, the students are able to 1) explain the principles of neutron physics 2) to understand experimental methods in neutron physics and instrumentation and to make estimations, 3) to explain the role of neutrons in the standard model of particle physics and astrophysics
Preconditions
Keine Vorkenntnisse nötig, die über die Zulassungsvoraussetzungen zum Masterstudium hinausgehen.
