Course Objectives		I. Classify the fundamental particles by their possible interactions. II Explain how particles can be detected and their properties determined by exploiting their interactions with matter. III. Understand the detection of weak currents and CP violation IV. Learn the experimental aspects of QCD, deep Inelastic Scattering and Parton model V. Understand the experimental aspects and testing of the Standard Model and the models beyond SM
Course Description		This course is devoted to the experimental foundations of particle physics. After a review of the particle physics concepts, there will be a short introduction to the accelerators and detectors. Detection of various particles, weak currents, CP violation, experimental aspects of QCD, deep Inelastic scattering, quark-parton model, testing of electro-weak unification, flavor
Course Outcomes		Students who pass the course will learn: I. The basic concepts of particle physics, Particle interactions II. Particle acceleration, Particle interactions with matter, particle detectors III. Discovery of muon, pion and strangeness, Discovery of antibaryons and resonances IV. Detection of weak currents and CP violation V. Discovery of the J/?, the ? , and Charm, Experimental studies of QCD VI. Deep Inelastic Scattering and QCD; Quark-Parton model, VII.
