Syllabus
for 5326 - 001, Spring 2003
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 actual D0 data. The
list topics are
-
Measurement of number
of jets associated with W's
-
Measurement of number
of jets associated with Z's
-
The W's and Z's decay
to either electrons or muons.
-
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.
