Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
Die Vorlesung beschäftigt sich mit den Zusammenhängen zwischen Komsologie und Teilchenphysik. Es wird zunächst eine Einführung in die Kosmologie und das Standardmodell der Teilchenphysik gegeben. Es werden dann die wichtigsten beobachtbaren Eigenschaften unseres Universum eingeführt und deren Zusammenhänge mit der Teilchenphysik erläutert: Die kosmische Hintergrundstrahlung, primordiale Nukleosynthese und grossräumige Strukturen. Anhand der zugänglichen Beobachtungen wird das Problem der dunklen Materie erörtert. Es werden mögliche Kandidaten und Experimente zu ihrem Nachweis besprochen.
