Fundamentale Präzisionsmessungen (Q-Ex-4)
Instructors: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Dmitry Budker; Univ.-Prof. Dr. Martin FertlShortname: 08.128.805
Course No.: 08.128.805
Course Type: Vorlesung/Übung
Format: online
Requirements / organisational issues
BSc in Physics or closely related fields.For some topics the course will be taught as a classical lecture. But for others we will depart form the usual format of formal lectures and seminars and adopt a more efficient technique of tutorial-style presentations (occasionally, by the students) and an engaged group discussion. In addition to introducing students to these topics, a secondary goal of the course is to enable the participants to make order-of-magnitude estimates and answer physics questions “on their feet".
This approach ideally prepares for the oral exam at the end of the semester and may be useful for students preparing for their Master or PhD defense.
Digital teaching
We plan to deliver this course fully through a digital learning platform with video conferences.This way we get more independence of a possible rebounce of the Covid 19 cases.
According to the circumstances we will still try to arrange tours to various labs for interested participants of the course.
The exact digital learning platform will be decided on in time before the start of classes and will be communicated to the students.
Recommended reading list
Appropriate literature will be announced in the course.While excerpts from some standard textbooks will be useful, many
for many topics the state-of-the-art is best summarized in current research
review articles.
Contents
The topics covered in this course will include (but will not be limited to):Fundamental symmetries of Nature
Open “big questions” in modern physics
Symmetry violations in beta decay and atomic parity violation
