Fundamentals of Particle Physics

Does physics fascinate you and you wonder what makes up simple things like an atom? Do you ponder how different invisible radiations are detected? The course kicks off with an introductory explanation of particle physics. Then we explore the basic models and types of particles. We investigate the various characteristics of these elementary particles and how to measure their quantum numbers. 

Have you ever wondered how the atomic number of an atom is calculated? We examine the nucleus in detail and the evolution and development of nuclear physics. We analyse key models, theories and laws regarding nuclei and radioactivity. You will investigate the phenomena of particle acceleration and the instruments used to create it.

Have you ever figured out what type of nuclear reaction creates an atomic explosion? We dissect the different types of nuclear reactions as the course progresses. Then we identify radiation detectors and their different types. Finally, we discuss the standard model theory as it is one of the foundations of particle physics. Particle physics is one of the integral branches of physics. If you want to understand its concepts thoroughly, enrol today!
