Obiettivi

Padronanza delle principali tecniche sperimentali per la fisica delle particelle elementari, la fisica nucleare e le applicazioni in fisica medica, ambientale e quantum computing

Contenuti sintetici

Il II modulo del Laboratorio di Misure Nucleari e Subnucleari completa l’esperienza didattica del I modulo.

Gli apparati sperimentali caratterizzati nel I semestre vengono ora utilizzati per misure piu’ sofisticate dove il controllo delle incertezze sistematiche svolge un ruolo preponderante nella pianificazione delle misure e nell’analisi dei dati. E' inoltre possibile sviluppare tecniche sperimentali avanzate per il quantum computing

Programma esteso

Ciascun studente, inserito in un gruppo di tre o quattro, realizzerà un esperimento (uno solo) nel campo della fisica delle particelle, partendo da quanto già realizzato nel I semestre. Sono previsti i seguenti esperimenti:

1) Diffusione Compton di fotoni polarizzati;

2) Misura della precessione in campo magnetico di muoni a riposo;

3) Misura della vita media di uno stato metastabile del 57-Co;

4) Tecniche PET

Prerequisiti

IMPORTANTE: lo studente deve avere già seguito Laboratorio di misure nucleari e subnucleari, I modulo

Modalità didattica

Gli esperimenti vengono svolti nei laboratori del Dipartimento di Fisica e supervisionati dal docente. I risultati sono raccolti in una relazione finale scritta in Inglese.

Materiale didattico

Relazioni degli anni precedenti. Si consigliano anche alcuni capitoli di:

G. F. Knoll, “Radiation Detection and Measurement”, 4th ed., Wiley & Sons

K. Grupen, “Particle Detectors”, 2nd ed., Cambridge University Press

G. Gilmore, “Practical gamma ray spectroscopy”, 2nd ed., Wiley & Sons

F. Terranova, "A modern primer in particle and nuclear physics", 1st ed., Oxford Univ. Press

Periodo di erogazione dell'insegnamento

II semestre

Modalità di verifica del profitto e valutazione

COLLOQUIO SULLA RELAZIONE DI LABORATORIO
Gli studenti, divisi nei gruppi corrispondenti all'esperimento, discutono la relazione finale con il docente. Durante l'esame vengono approfondite le tecniche implementate, le criticita' riscontrate e le sorgenti di errore sistematico nella misura.

Orario di ricevimento

A richiesta dei team.

Aims

The laboratory course provides an introduction at graduate level of the experimental techniques employed in particle and nuclear physics, including applications to medical, environmental physics, and quantum computing.

Contents

In this II part, the students deepen the experimental techniques developed in the I part of this Laboratory. The experimental apparatus assembled in the previous course is now employed to perform more sophisticated measurements; here the assessment of systematic bias plays a leading role in data taking and analysis. Advanced experimental techniques for quantum computing may also be addressed.

Detailed program

Each student placed in a group of three or four people, will carry out an experiment (just one) in the field of particle

physics, based on the achievements obtained in the first semester. Experiments are the following:

1) Compton scattering of polarized photons,

2) Measurement of the muon precession in a magnetic field at rest,

3) Measurement of the lifetime of a metastable state of 57-Co,

4) PET techniques

Prerequisites

IMPORTANT: Having attended Laboratory of nuclear and particle physics, I part is mandatory to join this course

Teaching form

The experiments are performed in the labs of the Department of Physics and the activities are supervised by the teacher. The results are summarized in a final report written in English.

Textbook and teaching resource

The final reports from the previous years. We also suggest the reading of a few chapter (depending on the

experiment) from

G. F. Knoll, “Radiation Detection and Measurement”, 4th ed., Wiley & Sons

K. Grupen, “Particle Detectors”, 2nd ed., Cambridge University Press

G. Gilmore, “Practical gamma ray spectroscopy”, 2nd ed., Wiley & Sons

F. Terranova, "A modern primer in particle and nuclear physics", 1st ed., Oxford Univ. Press

Semester

II semester

Assessment method

The team that performed the experiment presents the final report and discuss it with the teacher. During the discussion, we detail the techniques that were implemented, the issues encountered during the run of the apparatus and possible sources of systematics in the measurements.

Office hours

Under request by the team.
