1 Experimental Methods of Particle Physics PHYS 7361 (Spring 2010) Syllabus Instructor: Professor Bob Kehoe Office: Fondren Science Phone: (214) Fax: (214) Texts: Particle Detectors, C. Grupen and B. Shwartz (2003), Introduction to Experimental Particle Physics, R. Fernow (1990). Class Coordinates: Tues. & Thurs. 2p.m 3:20p.m. in Rm 158 Fondren Science Course Objectives: To provide an introduction to the science of particle physics detectors and their use. Students will familiarize themselves with the physics of particle interactions with matter, and several major detector technology categories. They will also study the electronics and triggering used to acquire data signals. Elements of modern reconstruction and statistical analysis will be discussed. Calculation will be one emphasis of the course. Method of Instruction: The class will consist of lectures. Homework is the foundation of your effort to acquire skill in using the material in the course. It will consist primarily of problems from the textbooks, supplemented by vocabulary questions from the instructor. It will be due on each Tuesday following the week the material is covered and will be worth 25% of the course grade. Tests: There will be one mid-term exam, and one final exam. The mid-term will make up 25% of the class grade. The final is cumulative over the whole course and counts for 30% of the grade. Presentation: A presentation on a special topic near the end of the semester will count for 20% of the course grade. This can entail either more detailed research into a specific topic within the course, or a solution to a specific experimental problem such as designing a specific detector to make a particular kind of measurement. Grading and Attendance Policy: In all cases, it is crucial to show your work clearly to get credit for solutions to physics problems. Regrading requests must be well-justified in writing. Anticipated absences resulting from religious observance or officially sanctioned extracurricular activity must be brought to the instructor s attention at least 2 weeks in advance. Make-up exams will need to be arranged with the instructor.
