Lectures:
Room: Thursday 14:00-16:00h, 

(Lectures will start on 22.10.26)

Journal Club:
Room: Monday 14:00-16:00h, 

(JC will start on 09.11.26)

 

In this lecture we present detector technologies employed by the main high-energy physics experiments at the Large Hadron Collider.

 

We will discuss recent physics results on

 

  • Quark-gluon plasma, hot QCD matter
  • CP-violation, lepton flavour universality
  • Higgs physics 

 

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