Organisation and examination
Teaching in the second semester
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course will provide a non-mathematical insight into the physics of the standard particle model, and explain how astrophysical observations have constrained its properties, and suggest that the discovery of new physics laws could take place in the near future.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
This course aims at providing the students with a synthesis of current knowledge in the field of astroparticles. At the end of the course, the students will be able to understand and outline the structure of the standard model of particle physics, its implications for astrophysics and the experimental results that suggest that new laws / particles are required. The course will provide the basic knowledge necessary to effectively address and comment on current issues related to particles and astroparticles.
