Course Description. Course description / synopsis Experimental and theoretical particle physics are two fields attempting to fully describe the nature of our Universe. The aim of experimental particle physics is to validate or invalidate the ideas put forward by particle physics theorists and to look for new and unexpected-by-theorists phenomena. To achieve this, not only the experimentalists are required to have a full and precise understanding of their experimental setup, but also the grasp of the tools used to create predictions of the observables expected to be detected at the experimental facilities respective to the given theoretical prediction being investigated. This interface between theory and experiment, tasked with providing experiment with theoretical predictions is called phenomenology. The most common phenomenological tool used in high-energy particle physics is a scientific discipline tasked with studying the most fundamental building blocks of our Universe – elementary particles. Paradoxically, to study these particles we must build grandiose and complex particle detectors, such as the four major experiments situated on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN).
