Theoretical Astroparticle Physics — Teaching

Lectures

Winter term 2024/25:

Physics for everybody:   

* Bachelor of education Biology, Physics, modules L-1.01 BM, BM-02-PHY *                            * Master of education Science, module NAWIPH2.04 *

Introduction to the conceptual development of physics, from the Newtonian mechanics and electrodynamics to the quantum physics and theory of relativity. This lecture leads to a basic understanding of questions and methods of physics, mathematics will be employed at a minimum. A partial aspect deals with the question, how to evaluate verity and accuracy of results, or ideas and models in physics.

Seminars

Winter term 2024/25:

Recent results in theoretical Astroparticle Physics:   This seminar leads to the current frontier of research in theoretical astroparticle physics, represented by presentations on selected recent results.                                                  

• S / Monday  14:15 - 15:45 / Golm, Bldg. 28, Room 2.28.2.080 

* Master of Science Physics, module 941 *                                                                                              * Master of Science Astrophysics, module PHY-941 *

Research projects for Master students (by arrangement)  

• Introductory project Astrophysics:  The students select an upper-level seminar and an introductory project in the same topic area. The topic of the introductory project generally corresponds to their specialization area for their Masters thesis.                                                                                                                                                                            * Master of Science Physics, modules 941, PHY941 *                                                                    * Master of Science Astrophysics, module PHY-941 *

• Research training Astrophysics:  The students carry out a supervised independent study and a guided lab in the field of the Master´s thesis. The supervision and guidance are provided in regular consultations with the supervisor(s).                         >   Friday  12:00 - 14:00 / Golm, Bldg. 28, Room 2.28.1.024                                                                                                                                                                                                                           * Master of Science Physics, modules 942, PHY942 *                                                                    * Master of Science Astrophysics, module PHY-942 *
