Lectures:

SR 2.402, INF227

Journal club:

Fridays 11:15 - 12:45

 K2-3 INF 226

 

In this lecture we present physics highlights and detector technologies employed by three high-energy physics experiments (ALICE, ATLAS, and LHCb) at the Large Hadron Collider.

  We will discuss recent physics results on:

  • CP-violation, lepton flavour universality, real-time analysis
  • Hadron jet and high-pT physics, Dark Matter searches
  • Quark-gluon plasma, hot QCD matter

 

  The lecture course will also include a journal club showcasing some of the experiments most cited papers.
