Know the main sources of high-energy radiation and particles in the universe: electromagnetic and gravitational waves, neutrinos, cosmic rays Know the methods of detecting radiation and particles coming to us from the universe, the principles of the structure of telescopes Know the methods of direct and indirect measurements of physical quantities from astrophysical observations Know the particle composition of the Standard Model of particle physics Be able to solve problems on the kinematics and dynamics of the processes of scattering and mutual transformation of particles Be able to calculate the parameters of detectors (telescopes) necessary to register different types of radiation/particles Be able to apply methods of indirect measurements to determine the parameters of astrophysical objects To be able to solve problems related to the phenomena and processes of high-energy physics in astrophysical objects and the early universe

Full-time form

1. Know the basics of basic mathematical disciplines, a general course in physics, classical mechanics, electrodynamics, special relativity. 2. To be able to solve problems from different sections of the course of general physics, classical mechanics, special theory of relativity, analyze the numerical result of the problem from a physical point of view, plan one's work. 3. To have the skills of working with educational literature, interaction with colleagues during training.
