Particle physics is a branch of physics that studies the elementary constituents of matter and radiation, and the interactions between them. Simply, it studies the nature of the particles that constitute matter and radiation. The [course_title] course focuses on the essential research in High Energy Physics. At first, the course deals with the Standard Model (SM) using a bottom-up method based on Unitarity, in addition to the usual top-down approach using SU3xSU2xU1. The course illustrates and analyses several classical experiments that established the SM and shows how to design experiments. You will know about heavy flavour physics, high-precision tests of the Standard Model, neutrino oscillations, searches for new phenomena (compositeness, supersymmetry, technical colour, and GUTs). The course also provides discussion on expectations from future accelerators (B factory, LHC, large electron-positron linear colliders, etc.).
Assessment
This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
Certification
Edukite courses are free to study. To successfully complete a course you must submit all the assignment of the course as part of assessment. Upon successful completion of a course, you can choose to make your achievement formal by obtaining your Certificate at a cost of £49.
