Course contents
Great achievements of Particle Physics and the consecration of the Standard Model: the discovery of c, b, t quarks, the tau lepton, symmetry violations, neutrinos and flavor oscillations, the Quark Gluon Plasma, the Higgs Boson.
Interlude: benefits of particle physics for society: medicine, security, computing and communications. Particle physics as a driver for technological innovation.
Great milestones of particle physics: the need for Standard Model extensions, new guiding principles, new paradigms and the future of fundamental physics. Large infrastructures on the horizon: new high-energy colliders and new artificial neutrino beams.
