The lecture "Experimental Methods in Astroparticle Physics - II" is focused on two major topics:

- the existence of Dark Matter and methods used to detect and characterize its properties

- neutrinos and their properties 

To properly follow the topics discussed in the lecture it is required to have attended the PEP IV Lecture (or equivalent lecture providing basic knowledge of Particle and Nuclear Physics as well as interactions of particles with matter).

The lecture will start on Monday the 15th of April and end on the 22nd of July. Tutorials will start the week later.

The number of credit points related to this lecture is 4 and will be obtained on the basis of the submitted solutions to the exercises.

60% of corrected exercises are required to obtain the 4 credit points

Suggested literature:

1. D. H. Perkins, Particle Astrophysics, Oxford Master Series in Physics, Oxford University Press (2009)

2. C. Grupen, Astroparticle Physics, Second Edition, Springer (2020)

3. H. V. Klapdor-KleingrothausandK. Zuber, Particle Astrophysics, IoP(2000)

4. E.W. Kolb and M. S. Turner, The Early Universe, Front. Phys. 69 (1990)

For specific topics dedicated literature will be suggested during the lecture.

During the first lecture we will also discuss possible time conflict with the proposed tutorial time.
