This course aims to show you what neutrinos are, their history, and how they can be crucial to understand our universe. A very important problem nowadays is the asymmetry between matter and antimatter. We are made of matter and exist because of this asymmetry. We don’t understand this imbalance and neutrinos can be a very useful insight. We will cover this and see how this research is also very useful to society.

In this course we are going to see most relevant aspects about neutrinos, very interesting but elusive particles. One important part will be to understand better matter-antimatter asymmetry in our universe and how neutrinos can be a useful insight for this. The tool to address this will be Neutrino Oscillations, which was the topic for a Nobel Prize in 2015. We will cover many other aspects, for exemple how research in Neutrino Field and High Energy Physics in general is relevant not only to understand better our universe but also for useful applications in Society.

In this module we show how neutrinos can come from diferent sources: Big Bang, sun, atmosphere, accelerators, supernovae, cosmos, ... We explain basic characteristics of these diferent neutrinos and finish with another practical exercise on the principle of detection for Water Cherenkov Detectors.

In this module we present the basic theory in fundamental physics, the Standard Model and we see how neutrinos are related with each of the fundamental forces: electromagnetism, strong force and weak force. We also introduce the concepts of helicity and chirality and discuss the relation with neutrinos.

In this module we discuss the important concept of neutrino oscillations. In order to this we introduce eigenstates, the PMNS matrix and the concept of oscillation probability. We apply all this to the practical case of DUNE.

常见问题
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
