The course aims to provide the basics of
statistics, data analysis and simulation methods
including Monte-Carlo integration, minimization techniques and statistical interpretations of data
which are methods relevant in all fields of experimental physics.
In addition, instrumentation techniques are covered, detection methods for charged particles and photons in a broad energy range relevant for particle physics (PP), medicine (M), photon science (X), homeland security (HL).
Some of the instrumentation topics covered are:
the interaction of particles with matter,
scintillators and time-of-flight detectors (PP,M,HL)
the principle of gas chambers (PP,M,HL)
silicon detectors for charged particles and photons (PP,M,X),
modern calorimetry and detectors for particle identification (PP, space)
large detector systems (LHC/Tevatron/ future ILC)
photon science detector (XFEL)
The course is accompanied by computer exercises to gain a deeper understanding in data analysis techniques and simulation as well as in detector physics. A basic introduction to C++ and ROOT will be offered at the beginning of the course covering the aspects needed in the exercise classes.

Lernziel:
At the end of the course the students are familiar with modern detection methods used in particle physics, photon science, medicine and homeland security.
They gain basic knowledge of C++ and ROOT programming.
They are able to perform measurements of ionization, position, energy and momentum determination of particles, as well as particle identification and timing measurements. They gain knowledge of data analysis and statistical treatment of data (error calculation, fitting procedures, unfolding) relevant in all fields of experimental physics.
The course is also suggested for students in the last year of their bachelor study, in particular as preparation or compendium for the F-practicum course.
