Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
Neutrons are powerful tools that can be used to search for new physics beyond the Standard Model, including to probe energy regimes inaccessible to accelerator-based experiments. In this informal lecture series, we will give an overview of the fundamental questions that may be investigated with these particles and discuss the state-of-the-art techniques employed in this field of research. The series will follow a new format, with both normal lectures as well as complementary seminar-style discussion of relevant research papers. Active student participation is welcomed and encouraged in both components.
