Introduction

Proseminar on the theory  and experiments of particle physics. There is a list of possible topics below. If you are interested in any other toipic, please contact us by e-mail.

How to participate/apply?

• Please notify the organizer by email or in person, preferably before 16.03.2018. Please indicate the preferred topic(s) in your email.
• Alternatively simply show up in the first seminar on 03.04.2018
  
• If you wish to participate in the Proseminar, please send a ranked list of three potential topics to Olga.Novgorodova@tu-dresden.de and Mikko.Meyer@tu-dresden.de. From this list, one topic will be chosen depending on the preferences of all participants. Some topics may be divided into subtopics if there is a large demand.
