Course Overview

This course is designed to introduce students to instrumental methods in Astroparticle physics. The course consists of lectures and practices in instrumentations. We begin with an introduction of particle interaction in matter and several important particle detectors. Students will be familiar with basic principles of cosmic ray detection by making a simple cosmic ray detector and performing cosmic ray experiments. Through this course students will acquire basic skills of circuit design, data handling, and data analysis.
