Content
This course consists of 2 partims, each worth 2.5 credits, thus totalling 5 credits: "Astroparticle Physics" and "Data analysis methods in Astrophysics".
PARTIM "Astroparticle Physics" (2.5 credits): theory and detection methods in astroparticle 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.
Teaching methods
Lectures in class.
Personal projects. Students can choose the subject among a list proposed by the teachers.
Reading portfolio for personal study.
Evaluation methods
The assessment is based on a oral discussion with the professor for the specific partim to verify in-depth knowledge and understanding of the topics covered during the course. This assessment may include the preparation of a report and a presentation prior to the exam.
Abusive use of artificial intelligence—as defined in the UCLouvain Charter (https://uclouvain.be/fr/system/files?file=uclouvain_assetmanager/groups/cms-editors-adef/SUP%26R/Utilisation_IAGenerative_Etudiants_v4F_20260416.pdf)—during the preparation of the presentation or report may be penalized.
The final grade will be calculated using the geometric mean within a partim and across the partims.
