Synopsis:

Outline of the lecture:

1. Detection of neutral particles in the cosmic radiation data (neutrons, photons, neutrinos)

2. Radio detection of showers of cosmic radiation (Askaryan’s effect, experiments)

3. Detection and use of secondary mions from cosmic radiation (accelerators, tomography)

4. Models of hadronic interactions (Glauber’s model, Gribov-Regge theory)

5. Cascade equation, simulation of showers of cosmic radiation (derivation, algorithms)

6. Hands-on public astroparticle data (fits data, Auger and KASCADE data)

7. Evolution of the universe (introduction to cosmology, relict radiation)

8. Nuclear processes in stars (nuclear synthesis, creation of neutrinos, final stages of stars)

9. Detection of neutrinos (principles, experiments, proton decay, double beta decay)

10. Detection of gravitational waves (principles, experiments)

11. Dark matter (theory, experiments)

12. Multimessengers (connections between detection of neutral and charged particles)
