Content

The goal of the seminar is to discuss nobel prizes in the fields of experimental particle, nuclear and astroparticle physics.

 

Prerequisite for this seminar is the Particle Physics Master Course or a Bachelor Thesis in particle physics. The seminar consists of the oral presentation of a research topic and a write-up of the talk. (see Master Modulhandbuch)
