Students shall have gained an advanced understanding of the principal messengers in astroparticle physics including their theoretical basis, as well as further advanced contemporary research topics in astroparticle physics.

Astroparticle physics is the science branch related to the most energetic physical processes and phenomena in the Universe. This course will deepen our understanding of the 4 principal messengers used in astroparticle physics (cosmic rays, gamma rays, neutrinos, gravitational waves) including their theoretical basis. It will further feature astroparticle physics in the early Universe (BAU, BBN, CMB), and direct and indirect approaches to the Dark Matter problem in non-accelerator particle physics.

Lectures will be accompanied with topical exercises connecting the content of the lectures with actual problem solving.

The assessment modus will be defined at the start of the terms.

Basic knowledge in astroparticle physics.
