Join us for an enlightening mini-course designed to unveil the mysteries of the universe through cutting-edge physics. This four-part lecture series is ideal for students, academics, and enthusiasts eager to deepen their understanding of fundamental cosmological phenomena. Here's what you can expect from each session:
Dates: May 13-16th, 2024
Lecturer: Debasish Borah, a world expert on Physics Beyond the Standard Model.
Lecture 1: Introduction to Neutrino Physics Dive into the world of neutrinos, the most elusive particles known to science. This lecture will cover the basics of neutrino physics, including their discovery, properties, and the role they play in the cosmos. Learn why these tiny particles are pivotal to our understanding of the universe.
Lecture 2: Introduction to Dark Matter Physics Explore the enigmatic concept of dark matter, an unseen force that holds galaxies together yet eludes direct detection. This session will introduce you to the theories and experiments that shape our current understanding of dark matter and its crucial role in the structure of the universe.
Lecture 3: Introduction to Baryon Asymmetry Why does the universe contain more matter than antimatter? This lecture will delve into the phenomenon of baryon asymmetry, exploring the conditions of the early universe and the ongoing quest to explain this fundamental imbalance.
Lecture 4: Dark Matter and Gravitational Waves Our final lecture bridges dark matter physics with the revolutionary field of gravitational wave astronomy. Discover how the detection of gravitational waves offers a new avenue for investigating dark matter and potentially unraveling its mysteries.
Each session is designed to be accessible yet informative, providing a foundation in each topic as well as insights into the latest research. Whether you are a seasoned physicist or a curious newcomer, this mini-course will expand your horizons and spark your fascination with the universe.
