The confirmation or development of theories in all fields of physics has always been linked to high-precision experimental measurements. In particle physics, the ability to detect particles has determined the greatest discoveries of the last 150 years.
For any physicist, experimentalist or theorist, it is important to understand the underlying principles of particle interaction with matter and their basic detection principles.
In this master-level lecture (4020200008) in the summer semester 2020, we will highlight all these basic principles of interaction and detection of particles. We will discuss examples of modern particle detectors in the fields of particle and astro-particle physics, taking into account the interest of the class.
