PHY 235 - Nuclear & Particle Physics

Course unit(s): 1
Prerequisite(s): PHY 122 - General Physics II
Elementary particles are the building blocks of nature. The “standard model” describes the interaction of these building blocks and constitutes the most comprehensive understanding of the physical world in existence. An overview of the standard model will be presented as well as topics in nuclear physics. Discussion and hands on experience with particle detectors will be included.
