The course explores the fundamental concepts, phenomenology and some experimental aspects of elementary particle physics as described by the Standard Model.
Students will acquire the phenomenological basis of modern elementary particle physics, the tools for the computation of quantities of interest and the most effective experimental techniques for their measurement.
The course aims to provide a coherent picture of the phenomenology of elementary particles and of the methodological and experimental tools to understand the main results.
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
General Physics, Nuclear and Particle Physics 1 and 2
Blackboard lectures accompanied by examples and exercises.

Oral exam. The student can start discussing a topic of his/her choice, will then be asked to answer questions on the remaining part of the program.
The exam aims at testing the student preparation and his/her abilitity to critically discuss the course contents. The examining board will also ascertain the ability to exploit the knowledge acquired to estimate orders of magnitude in particle physics processes and design possible measurement strategies.
