Astroparticle Physics
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
The course provides an overview of astroparticle physics, with an accent on experimental techniques of common use in both particle physics and astrophysics. The course covers cosmic rays physics, dark matter searches and neutrino astrophysics.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student will have understood:
1. Basic theoretical knowledge of the discussed themes;
2. Common characteristics of measures in underground and cosmic rays physics as well as their problematics;
3. Design ideas and functioning principles used in astroparticle physics;
4. Methods in use for data analysis in several astroparticle physics experiments;
5. Main experimental results of last years in astroparticle physics, their critical analysis and implications.
