Acquis d'apprentissage (objectifs d'apprentissage) du cours :
|
|||||
| The aim of these lectures is to introduce the student to the physical principles of the interaction of subatomic particles and high energy radiation with matter, and to give an overview of the different methods for detecting and quantifying the presence of such particles and radiation, and to give an introduction to the acceleration of particles. | |||||

Savoirs et compétences prérequis :
|
|||||
| It is assumed that the students have a good background in basic physics as is usually part of the curriculum of the first two years of engineering, physics or mathematics. More in particular they should be familiar with classical theory of electromagnetism and classical mechanics. They should also have an elementary knowledge of special relativity. A basic knowledge of quantum mechanics is helpful but not essential. An introductory level knowledge to electronics and circuit theory including the use Fourier transforms is also assumed. Some knowledge of quantum mechanics is helpful but not essential. REFERENCE BOOKS ON PREREQUISITE University physics, Hugh D. Young, Roger A. Freedman Circuit Theory, Mani Soma |
