Course review:
1. "Bricks and mortar, our world is built from":

  • Fundamental discoverier (electron, nucleus, neutron, positron, muon,).
  • Paricle classification.
  • Contemporary state of our knowledge - basic pebbles of matter and their interactions.
  • Partons, deeply non-elastic scattering.
  • Standard model.
  • So far un-answered questions.
2. Interaction of partices with medium:
  • Passage of charged particles throug the medium in dependence of their energy.
  • Losses due to ionisation, radiation, Čerenkov radiation, transient radiation, multiple scattering.
  • Electromagnetic and hadron cascades (showers).
3. Detectors:
  • Particle detection methods, selected types of detectors: scintillators, Čerenkov detectors, track detectors, calorimeters.
4. Particle accelerators:
  • Principles of accelerating, utilized devices, linear and circular accelerators, fixed target and counter propagating beams.
5. Big temporary and future experiments on the accelerators:
  • Experiments on LEP and Tevatron, the most important results.
