Full-time form

1. Successful mastering of the course of nuclear physics, introductory course of high-energy physics, including methods of statistical processing. 2. Be able to perform calculations and solve problems in nuclear physics and particle physics. 3. Have the skills to write computer programs for data analysis.

The aim of the discipline "High Energy Physics" is to provide students with a deep understanding of the basic knowledge and achievements of high energy physics. Particular attention is paid to the quark-parton model of the structure of elementary particles, the classification of elementary particles and their interactions, experimental research tools (accelerators, detectors, analysis tools). This includes mastering the basic laws, theories, methods and tools of modern research in high energy physics, major advances in this field and prospects for research in the coming years.

Lecture demonstration; hands-on classes; independent student work; consultations.

The work on the study of the material is divided into two content modules. The first content module studies the material related to the Standard Model, quark-parton structure of particles, Feynman diagram, and the second - colliders and detector systems, particles and antiparticles. Within each of the content modules it is planned to conduct tests on the topic of the module material. The general assessment is formed from the assessment: homework, tests and tests. The final form of control over the student's performance of independent work - an exam. Final control of knowledge in the discipline "High Energy Physics" of students is carried out in the form of an exam using a modular rating system
