Main themes
PARTIM A (5 credits) : Principles and applications of particle acceleration - Accelerator physics - Precision measurements at low energies - Neutrino physics. This partim can be taken separately.
PARTIM B (5 credits) : Particles and radiation of cosmic origin (including neutrinos) – Gravitational waves. This partim can be taken separately.
Content
This course consists of 2 partims, each worth 2.5 credits, thus totalling 5 credits: "Gravitational-wave Physics", and "Data Analysis methods in Astrophysics".
PARTIM "Gravitational-wave Physics" (2.5 credits): theory and detection methods in gravitational-wave physics.PARTIM "Data analysis methods in Astrophysics" (2.5 credits): data analysis techniques used in observational astrophysics. They include both classical statistical data analysis and machine learning- based techniques.
