  • Contents & literature

    LHC phenomenology

    Topic for winter semester 2017/2018
    Higgs event at the LHC (CMS)
    © CMS/CERN

    The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.

    Topics are primarily given out to master’s students. A limited number of topics can possibly also be worked on by bachelor’s students. Thus, we refer to the seminar on the theory of atoms, nuclei and condensed matter at this point, which is targeted exclusively towards bachelor’s students.
