Syllabus
for 5326 - 001, Spring 2007
This class
concentrates
on theoretical formalism and experimental aspects of High Energy
Particle
Physics. The classes will be traditional lecture. Depending
on subject matters to be discusssed in the class, we might have
featured
speakers for the students to interact with. The following subject
will be covered in the course during the semester:
-
Neutrinos
-
Theoretical
formalism
-
Experimental
setup for
neutrinos
-
Neutrinos and
proton
structure functions
-
sin2qW
measruements and its impact to Higgs
-
Neutrino
oscillation
-
Electroweak
symmetry
breaking
-
Standard Model
EWSB
formalism and Higgs particle
-
Minimal SUSY
extension
of SM
-
Other EWSB
mechanism
and Higgs particles
-
Experimental
setup
-
Higgs search
strategy
-
New phenomena
-
Formalism and
available
models
-
Large extra
dimension
-
NP Search
strategy
-
Semester
Projects: Students
are required to carry out data analysis, using ATLAS MC or ILC Beam
Test data. The list of topics is as follows:
-
A SUSY Search
(Pick a channel)
- A Standard
Model Higgs search in H-->gamma+gamma
-
A
Super-symmetric Higgs particle search
- An ILC
Detector Development Beam Test Data Analysis
- Students
are encouraged
to collaborate to accomplish the common analysis goals
- A
>=10 page report is
due at the end of the semester. These reports must be at a quality to
become
a UTA-HEP note.
- A
30 minute presentation
is also due at the end of the semester.
Given the wide range
of topics to be covered throughout the semester, it will not be
possible
to cover topics in great detail. However, the students will be
familarized
in formalisms and concepts of current topics and experimental
techniques
in High Energy Particle Physics field.
