87984 - PHENOMENOLOGY OF THE STANDARD MODEL

Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

At the end of the course the student will acquire a good knowledge of the most significant and up-to-date topics of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, through a phenomenological approach. In particular, the student will go through basic experimental searches related to the electroweak and QCD sectors. The student will also acquire an overview of the main experimental results and of new challenges, integrating the notions acquired in other courses.
