VERSION SPECIFIC DATA
course aims in Estonian
Kursus annab kaasaegse sissejuhatuse osakestefüüsika ja kosmoloogia põhiprobleemidesse. Lisaks teoreetilisele taustale esitatakse ülevaade osakestefüüsika ja kosmoloogia eksperimentaalsetest testimisviisidest, sealhulgas alles planeeritavatest eksperimentidest. Kursuse raames saab tudeng ka praktilise kogemuse osakestefüüsi eksperimentaalsest poolest kasutades reaalseid eksperimendi andmeid LHC kiirendist. Kursusest arusaamise eelduseks on kvantmehhaanika ja erirelatiivsusteooria põhikontseptsioonide tundmine ilma sellekohase matemaatilise aparaadi detailse valdamiseta.
course aims in English
The course will give a modern introduction to particle physics and cosmology main problems. In addition to a theoretical background the course also gives an overview of ways to experimentally test particle physics and cosmology including still planned experiments. During the course the student will get hands on experience in performing experimental particle physics using real experiment data from the LHC. The course requires as a prerequisite understanding of quantum mechanics and special theory of relativity at least on a conceptual level without requiring the full mathematical framework.
learning outcomes in the course in Est.
* Teab ning saab aru osakestefüüsika teooriast ja eksperimendi teostamisest
* Tunneb piisavalt väljateooria formalismi, et teostada elementaarsemate interaktsioonide arvutusi
* Analüüsib ja kategoriseerib signaali ning suudab seda eristada taustaprotsessidest
* Omab kogemust töös suurte andmemahtudega kasutades kaasaegseid masinõppe algoritme
learning outcomes in the course in Eng.
* Knows and understands both the theory and experimental setup of elementary particle physics
* Understands and is able to use enough of quantum field theory formalism to perform basic particle interaction calculations
* Analyzes and categorizes the signal process as well as is able to extract it from competing background processes
* Has experience in working with large scale data using modern machine learning algorithms
