(High School) Experimental Particle Physics - Exploring cosmic rays from the comfort of your living room

Welcome to an exciting journey into the enigmatic world of cosmic rays! This high school-level course is designed to introduce you to the captivating realm of cosmic rays, particles which travel vast distances through the cosmos before reaching earth. This course blends hands-on data analysis with a comprehensive understanding of the theory behind these high-energy particles.

Throughout this course, you'll delve into the mysteries of cosmic rays, investigating their origins, detection, and interactions with our atmosphere. Engage in practical experiments and data analysis using real cosmic ray data collected from ground-based detectors, unraveling the patterns and characteristics of these elusive particles.

The curriculum is divided in a balanced way between theoretical knowledge and practical application. You'll explore fundamental physics concepts essential to understanding cosmic rays, including particle interactions, (very basic) relativity, quantum mechanics, and astrophysics. Lectures, discussions, and interactive sessions will deepen your understanding of these theoretical foundations and their relevance to cosmic ray research.

Do not panic! All the theory is presented in a very engaging way, adapted to the technical level to each student.

Key Topics:

* Introduction to Cosmic Rays: Origins, Composition, and Detection Methods
* Introduction to particle physics detection techniques (with real particle detector examples)
* Data Collection and Analysis (python or C/C++): Hands-on Experience with Real Cosmic Ray Data
* Astrophysical Implications: Cosmic Rays and the Universe
* Advanced Topics (for the very enthusiastic): Cosmic ray astrophysics and state-of-the-art detectors used currently in the research world.


Class Format:

In the basic variant, this course will blend theory lectures with computer-based data analysis. For the very enthusiastic students, there is also a possibility to build their own particle detector.

Assessment:

Assessment will be based on a combination of individual and group projects, quizzes, data analysis reports, and a final presentation or research paper that showcases your understanding of cosmic rays, both theoretically and practically.

Prerequisites:

Curiosity! The only pre-requisite for this course is the curiosity of how our universe works, and what can we do as humans to understand it as much as possible!

Join me on this cosmic adventure, where theoretical exploration meets empirical investigation, and together, let's unravel the secrets of these cosmic messengers!

About Me

Currently I am a full time researcher in experimental particle physics, based at the university of Geneva, CH. I love particles and especially I love to explore different methods trough which we can detect them.

During my continuous education I designed and constructed tens of detectors, passing my knowledge to students with various backgrounds: from pharmacy/business to highly specialised physics master/Ph.D. student.

I love to talk about research and the universe itself, and I consider that the only moment when research reaches its goal is when knowledge is successfully passed towards the younger generations.

During my career I have been based (and still am) at several world leading institutes, including CERN and the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI).

Outside research, my life revolves around cycling and mountain biking, having obtained the title of national champion at amateur level in my country.

Education

BSc/MSci -> University of Birmingham, UK:

Here I obtained the title of master in particle phyiscs and cosmology. My masters project involved acquiring data in a more efficient way at one of the biggest experiments from CERN: NA62.

Ph.D -> University of Geneva, CH.

Based in the particle physics (neutrino) group, here I designed, constructed, and analsed the data of a novel particle detector with improved resolution.

Experience / Qualifications

Teaching -> 6 years
Guided tours for physics experiments- > 5 years
Data analysis -> 8 years
Physics -> 10 years
Data acquisition -> 4 years
Coding -> 8 years.

Private lessons in mathematics - physics - chemistry
Student in scientific preparatory class at the lycée du Parc, for several years giving private lessons in math, physics and chemistry, I realized how nice helping students in the field of education was. This is why I offer you my help in these subjects throughout the summer at flexible hours. From small classes to high school, I will be able to adapt specifically to the needs of each student, in particular by writing myself exercise subjects that best correspond to the skills of each student as well as those expected from the program. I apply myself during each course to establish a rigor necessary for the success of the students as well as to develop a scientific curiosity so as to allow the students to progress autonomously thereafter. In this particular situation of health crisis, many students were unable to work in conditions as pleasant as desired. I will of course adapt to everyone's situations (face-to-face or by videoconference / virtual board) during this summer so that each student can find a level corresponding to the expectations of the program for next year. Remaining at your disposal for further information.

**Mathematics and Physics for High School Students**
Mathematics course description for high school seniors: With two years of experience teaching high school seniors in Morocco, as well as students in Paris and Troyes, I have had the opportunity to work with renowned organizations such as Anacours, Acadomia, and platforms like Superprof and Les Sherpas. These experiences have allowed me to develop strong expertise in teaching mathematics. I begin each session with an activity in the form of a targeted exercise, which helps build the course content progressively and illustrates key results. Then, I present the main theorems of the chapter, followed by practical examples to ensure students fully understand the concepts. At the end of the chapter, we conduct a detailed summary to recap the topics covered. Finally, we approach exercises and tutorials progressively, with an assessment in the form of a mock exam to measure the student's progress and consolidate their knowledge.
