A lthough there are good\nmotivations from theoretical and experimental part icle\nphysics for the existence of Dark Matter in form of\nnon-baryonic el ementary particles\, we have only restricted\nor very little information f rom direct investigations on\nthese particles.\nThe two major candidates f or Dark Matter particles are the\nwell-known neutrinos and the yet unknown so-called WIMPs\,\nweakly interacting massive particles. Whereas the firs t are\nvery light and thus considered as “Hot Dark Matter”\, WIMPs\nar e expected to be very massive and would thus be “Cold Dark\nMatter”.\n The observation of neutrino oscillations is an unambiguous\nproof of a non -zero neutrino mass. However\, the absolute\nmass scale cannot be extracte d from such experiments. The\nmost sensitive laboratory search on the neut rino mass is the\ninvestigation of the kinematics of the ß decay\, especi ally\nthe decay 3H 3He + e- +anti(e). At the Forschungszentrum\nK arlsruhe\, the KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino experiment KATRIN\nis under cons truction to improve the existing sensitivity on\nthe neutrino mass by more than one order of magnitude down\nto 200meV. Thus\, KATRIN will be able t o decide whether\nneutrinos play a significant role in the structure forma tion\nof the early Universe. \nAbout 23% of the Universe´s mass content s hould be in form\nof Cold Dark Matter. WIMPs as particle candidates for th is\ncontribution would have formed the seeds of galaxy formation\nin the e arly Universe and would hence also form the Dark\nHalo surrounding our gal axy\, the Milky Way. One attempt to\ndetect them is the measurement of the energy released in\nelastic scattering of these halo WIMPs off nuclei of the\ndetector material. The Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe is\ninvolved in th e EDELWEISS direct Dark Matter search\nexperiment installed in the Laborat oire Souterrain de Modane\nin the French-Italian Fréjus tunnel. The detec tors used in\nEDELWEISS are Ge crystals of 320g mass operated at a\ntemper ature of 17mK.\nIn this lecture\, we shortly review the cosmological\nmoti vation for particle Dark Matter and describe in detail\nthe physics scheme \, the experimental set-ups and technical\nchallenges for laboratory Dark Matter search with KATRIN and\nEDELWEISS.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contrib utionDisplay.py?contribId=24&sessionId=10&confId=4122 LOCATION:Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=24&sessionId=10 &confId=4122 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Visit of Forschungszentrum DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060710T110000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060710T140000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T044933Z UID:indico-contribution-4122-25@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nExperiments\n\nKascade\nAuger\nKatrin\n\nhttp://in dico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=25&sessionId=10&confId=4122 LOCATION:Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=25&sessionId=10 &confId=4122 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Discussion DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060710T140000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060710T150000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T044933Z UID:indico-contribution-4122-26@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nFinal discussion of visit\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch /contributionDisplay.py?contribId=26&sessionId=10&confId=4122 LOCATION:Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=26&sessionId=10 &confId=4122 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Neutrino mysteries (part II\, Cosmological Neutrinos ) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060711T063000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060711T081500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T044933Z UID:indico-contribution-4122-27@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nAfter a brief summary of the evolution of cosmolog ical\nperturbation in the Friedmann universe\, I will show why\nneutrinos are expected to leave a signature in the spectrum\nof CMB anisotropies and in the distribution of large scale\nstructures.

Their main constituents are normal nuclei\nas in the stan dard cosmic abundances of matter\; there are\nalso electrons\, positrons a nd anti-protons\, but no\nanti-nuclei. Today we also have information on i sotopic\nabundances\, which show some anomalies\, as compared with the\nin terstellar medium. The cosmic ray all-particle spectrum\nextends over ener gies from a few hundred MeV to 3x1020 eV\nand shows few clear spectral sig natures: There is a small\nspectral break near 5x1015 eV\, the "knee"\, wh ere the\nspectrum turns down\; there is another spectral break near\n3x101 8 eV\, the "ankle"\, where the spectrum turns up again.\nUp to the ankle t he cosmic rays are usually interpreted as\noriginating from Galactic sourc es\; however\, we do not know\nwhat the origin of the knee is. The particl es beyond the\nankle have to be extragalactic\, but due to interaction wit h\nthe cosmic microwave background there is a strong cut-off\nexpected nea r 5x1019 eV\, which is\, however\, not seen\; The\nmeasured high energy co smic rays beyond this "GZK-cutoff"\n(after its discoverers Greisen\, Zatse pin and Kuzmin) are the\nchallenge to interpret. \nHigh-energy primary cos mic rays above energies of about\n1x1014 eV are investigated by observatio ns of extensive air\nshowers (EAS) using large area ground based detector\ ninstallations for registering various components of the EAS\ncascade deve lopment. In the present lecture different\nexperimental approaches deducin g mass and energy sensitive\ninformation from the most sophisticated EAS e xperiments and\ntheir results are presented. In particular the\nKASCADE-Gr ande experiment for measurements around the knee\nand the Pierre Auger Obs ervatory for detecting highest\nenergy cosmic rays will be discussed in de tail. These\nexperiments involve measurements of secondary particle\ndist ributions\, as well as measurements of air Fluorescence\nlight and radio w aves emitted during the EAS development. \nThe physical and astrophysical implications of the current\nfindings in various energy regions are briefl y discussed and\nprospects of the KASCADE-Grande and Pierre-Auger experime nts\nare presented.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contri bId=23&sessionId=10&confId=4122 LOCATION:Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=23&sessionId=10 &confId=4122 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:WWW\, Grid\, Neural Computing\, Spin-Offs from High Energy Physics DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060711T084500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060711T103000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T044933Z UID:indico-contribution-4122-28@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nThe quest for the very fundamental mysteries of na ture by\nexploring the smallest scales and highest energies at\nparticle c olliders requires a huge technological and\nintellectual effort. \nWhile m any people think this is a purely intellectual\nexercise for some crazy su per-brains without any impact on\nsociety\, the spin-offs from High Energy Physics research\nactually has and will have a number of consequences als o for\nnon-scientists.\n The most famous example is the World Wide Web whi ch has its\nroots at CERN. It clearly has revolutionized nearly\neverybody 's life. The huge amount of data collected at the\nnext generation of acce lerator experiments led to the\ndevelopment of grid technology\, i.e. comp uting power and\nstorage ''out of the plug'' in a world wide grid of compu ter\ncentres. \nAccelerator and detector development has led to progress in\nmedical imaging and radiation therapy. \nVery powerful regularised ne ural network algorithms\ndeveloped for reconstruction and statistical anal ysis of\nhigh energy physics experiments have been proven to be\nextremely good prediction and risk assessment methods. These\nnow have first applic ations in banks\, insurances\, car and\nsteel industry as well as trading companies.\n\nThe lecture describes the major ideas of some important\nspi n-offs and their consequences for society. Finally\ncareer possibilities for physicists outside public research\nare described.\n\nhttp://indico.ce rn.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=28&sessionId=11&confId=4122 LOCATION:Strasbourg Amphi Fresnel URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=28&sessionId=11 &confId=4122 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Supersymmetry and String Theories DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060712T063000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060712T081500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T044933Z UID:indico-contribution-4122-29@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nIn the first lecture\, I will motivate the search for extra\nspace-time symmetries and the emergence of supersymmetry. I\nwi ll present some technical developments around extensions\nof Poincaré alg ebra and discuss their applications. In the\nsecond lecture\, I will focus on what could stand beyond\nordinary relativistic quantum field theory of point-like\nparticles. The technical part of the lecture will be the\ndes cription of relativistic-string classical dynamics. A\ndiscussion on the v arious facets of string theory and its\nrelevance for high-energy physics and cosmology will follow.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py ?contribId=29&sessionId=13&confId=4122 LOCATION:Strasbourg Amphi Fresnel URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=29&sessionId=13 &confId=4122 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Physics brings Nations together\, CERN and SESAME as examples DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060704T071500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060704T081500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T044933Z UID:indico-contribution-4122-1@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nLaws of physics are universally valid and provide an\nexcellent basis for international cooperation between\nscientists from different mentalities\, traditions\, religions\nand political systems. Ba sic science cannot succeed without\nopen communication without secrets and elementary particle\nphysics needs large installations which require also \ncooperation with administrations and connections with even\nhighest poli tical levels. Particle physics has pioneered\nseveral steps in internation al collaboration. \nCERN\, the oldest European organisation\, was founded after\nWorld War II not only to promote science in Europe but also\nto bri ng European nations together. In the past CERN has put\nat the disposal of physicists several unique facilities\n(continuing with LHC in the future) and consequently CERN\nhas become in practice a world laboratory. The lar ge\nscientific collaborations\, called ‘experiments’\, presently\ninvo lving up to 2000 scientists and engineers\, radiated into\nthe political d omain and contributed to establish mutual\nunderstanding and trust. They promoted cultural exchanges\nand sometimes even providing help to individu als. \nThe latest offspring of CERN is the SESAME Laboratory in\nJordan wi th a synchrotron radiation source as the main\nfacility. It was founded ac cording to the CERN model under\nthe auspices of UNESCO. Like CERN with tw o objectives -\npromote science in the Middle East and the Mediterranean\n Region but also serve the slogan “science for peace” in this\nconflict - torn part of the world.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py ?contribId=1&sessionId=1&confId=4122 LOCATION:Strasbourg Amphi Fresnel URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=1&sessionId=1&c onfId=4122 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Introduction DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060704T064500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060704T071500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T044933Z UID:indico-contribution-4122-0@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nIntroduction and greetings\n\nhttp://indico.cern.c h/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=0&sessionId=1&confId=4122 LOCATION:Strasbourg Amphi Fresnel URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=0&sessionId=1&c onfId=4122 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The Standard Model of Fundamental Interactions\, Achievements DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060704T084500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060704T103000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T044933Z UID:indico-contribution-4122-3@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nThe standard model of fundamental interactions is \nbased on\nthe quantum theory of fields in particle physics and on\ngener al relativity in cosmology.

The Standard\nMod el for Particle Physics has been tested to great detail\nover the last 20 years\, and measurements are in excellent\nagreement with the data. But th is model has its shortcomings\nand does not explain why the world is as it is. It is\nfurthermore expected that at higher energies new physics\neffe cts will manifest itself\, which are needed to allow the\nStandard Model t o be stable at our present energies. The\nnext high energy machines will s eek answers to these questions.\nIn less than two years from now the Large Hadron Collider\n(LHC) at CERN will become operational\, and will collide \nprotons at a centre of mass energy of 14 TeV. This high\ncollision energ y will allow to study physics at the TeV\nenergy scale. These lectures wil l introduce the LHC machine\nand make a tour of the experiments\, presentl y under\nconstruction\, that will measure these collisions.

The presently most\npopular solution to t his problem is the anticipation of the\nexistence of a scalar "Higgs" fiel d\, with associated Higgs\nparticle. If such particle exists with Standard Model\nproperties\, LHC will find it.\nAnother major question is what lay s beyond the Standard\nModel. The high energy limit shortcoming of the Sta ndard\nModel suggests that in the region around a TeV or higher\,\nsignals from new physics will set it\, through the production\nof new particles o r the onset of new processes. In these\nlectures we will discuss the poten tial for discovering\nSupersymmetry\, large extra space dimensions\, and a few other\nnew scenarios.\nAt a later time\, perhaps 10 years from now\, an e+e- linear\ncollider can be the next collider which will be largely\nc omplementary to the LHC\, allowing for precision\nmeasurements to be made\ , in order to understand the exact\nnature of the underlying theory for th e new physics\, when\ndiscovered at the LHC.\nThese lectures will give a s hort introduction to the present\nlinear collider projects and studies\, I LC and CLIC\, and will\ndiscuss the synergy with the LHC physics program.\ n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=16&sessionId=7&c onfId=4122 LOCATION:Strasbourg Amphi Fresnel URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=16&sessionId=7& confId=4122 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Physics at Future High Energy Colliders II DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060708T063000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060708T081500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T044933Z UID:indico-contribution-4122-19@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \npart II\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDispl ay.py?contribId=19&sessionId=9&confId=4122 LOCATION:Strasbourg Amphi Fresnel URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=19&sessionId=9& confId=4122 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Campus Cronenbourg DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060707T133000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060707T153000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T044933Z UID:indico-contribution-4122-18@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nvisit of the IPHC\, departement of particle physic s\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=18&sessionId=8 &confId=4122 LOCATION:Strasbourg Amphi Fresnel URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=18&sessionId=8& confId=4122 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Silicon Detectors in Particle Physics – from Strip Detectors to Medipix DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060712T120000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060712T134500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T044933Z UID:indico-contribution-4122-31@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nSemiconductor detectors for particle tracking and vertex\nfinding have started to play an important role in High\nEnergy Phy sics roughly since the LEP era. Present\nexperiments at the Large Hadron C ollider (LHC) or Tevatron\nwould be impossible with Silicon detectors arou nd the\ninteraction point. \nThis lecture gives an introduction to the top ic\, starting\nfrom the fundamental operating principles of semiconductor\ ndetectors\, and leading up to the detectors used in the\ntracking systems of the LHC experiments. Applications of\ndetectors from particle physics in other fields are shown\,\nusing the Medipix chip as an example.\n\nhttp ://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=31&sessionId=14&confId= 4122 LOCATION:Strasbourg Amphi Fresnel URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=31&sessionId=14 &confId=4122 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Exercises DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060712T084500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060712T103000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T044933Z UID:indico-contribution-4122-30@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nCosmic rays\ndark matter\nNeutrinos\nSusy-Strings\ n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=30&sessionId=13& confId=4122 LOCATION:Strasbourg Amphi Fresnel URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=30&sessionId=13 &confId=4122 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Closing Session DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060712T141500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060712T151500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130523T044933Z UID:indico-contribution-4122-32@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contr ibId=32&sessionId=14&confId=4122 LOCATION:Strasbourg Amphi Fresnel URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=32&sessionId=14 &confId=4122 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
