The LPHE offers several courses at all levels and is also involved in organizing practical work sessions.
Specialized Courses
Nuclear Physics – PHYS-342 (FR)
Lecturer : Prof. Lesya Shchutska
Summary : General introduction to the physics of atomic nuclei: from bound states to scattering.
Course description
Physics and Fundamental Interactions – PHYS-311 (EN)
Lecturer : Prof. Radoslav Marchevski
Summary : General introduction to the current state of knowledge in elementary particle physics: from relativistic kinematics to the phenomenological interpretation of high-energy collisions.
Course description
Particle Physics I – PHYS-415 (EN)
Lecturer : Prof. Laurent Dufour
Summary: Presentation of particle properties, their symmetries and interactions. Introduction to quantum electrodynamics and to the Feynman rules.
Course description I
Particle Physics II – PHYS-416 (EN)
Lecturer : Prof. Lesya Shchutska
Summary: This course aims to make students familiar and comfortable with the main concepts of particle physics, providing a clear connection between theory and relevant experimental results, including the most recent ones from modern particle physics experiments.
Course description II
Selected topics in nuclear and particle physics – PHYS-400 (EN)
Lecturer : Dr. Frédéric Blanc
Summary : This course presents the physical principles and the recent research developments on three topics of particle and nuclear physics: the physics of neutrinos, dark matter, and plasmas of quark and gluons. An emphasis is given on experimental aspects in these three fields.
Course description
Particle Detection – PHYS-440 (EN)
Lecturer : Dr. Guido Haefeli
Summary : The course covers the physics of particle detectors. It introduces the experimental techniques used in nuclear and particle physics. The lecture includes the interaction of particles with matter, scintillators, gas chambers, silicon detectors, and detectors for particle identification.
Course description
Introduction to Astroparticle Physics – PHYS-439 (EN)
Lecturer : Dr. Chiara Perrina, Dr. Andrii Neronov
Summary : We present the role of particle physics in cosmology and in the description of astrophysical phenomena. We also present the methods and technologies for the observation of cosmic particles.
Course description
Particle Physics: The Flavour Frontiers – PHYS-471 (EN)
Lecturer : Prof. Radoslav Marchevski
Summary : This course presents the experimental aspects of flavour physics primarily in the quark sector but also in the lepton sector and their role in the development of the Standard Model of particle physics.
