Astroparticles (1/3)

by Carr, J (CERN)

Thursday 24 Jul 2003, 10:15 → 11:00 Europe/Zurich

500/1-001 - Main Auditorium (CERN)

Organiser(s): HR-RFA

Summary:
The three lectures will introduce the field of Astroparticle Physics: a research domain which links Particle Physics and Astrophysics.
The Universe started with the Big Bang and now has developped into the complicated structures we know and love. Particle Physics is essential to understand the evolution of the universe after the Big Bang and the course will introduce some aspects of our current understanding of this. Not all the structures in the present universe are fully understood and probably some are not even fully known. Experiments underway in the Astroparticle field hope to add to our knowledge and understanding of all these aspects of the universe.

Prerequisite knowledge:
University physics.
