Astroparticle Physics
Here are the powerpoint slides for my Warwick Week graduate lectures:
-
Lecture 1
(handouts)
-
High Energy Astroparticle Physics (TeV gamma rays, cosmic rays,
high energy neutrinos), part 1
Introduction; acceleration mechanisms (first-order Fermi mechanism,
resonant cyclotron absorption, inverse Compton, pion photoproduction);
astrophysical sources.
-
Lecture 2
(handouts)
-
High Energy Astroparticle Physics (TeV gamma rays, cosmic rays,
high energy neutrinos), part 2
Detection methods: Cosmic rays (atmospheric Cherenkov, nitrogen fluorescence,
detection of secondary particles on ground); TeV gamma rays (atmospheric Cherenkov);
properties of primary cosmic rays.
-
