Particle physics: Detection A glimpse of particles detection Presenter: Amel Shamseldeen Ali Alhassan, Nile Collage Venue: Faculty of Engineering, University of Khartoum Date: Tuesday, 17. 03. 2018
Content • Introduction: – Why physicists like to study particle physics? – Recent Nobel prizes for particle physics – Famous places where you con do particle physics – Who works on particle physics? • Some Particle Detectors • ALPS Experiment
Introduction: Why Physicists like to study particle physics? • Fundamental physics = Particle Physics + Cosmology – Where did we come form? – How every thing will end?
Recent Nobel Prizes The Nobel Prize in Physics 2015 Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. Mc. Donald "for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass" • The Nobel Prize in Physics 2013 François Englert and Peter W. Higgs "for theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider"
