Intensive weeks
In this advanced course detailed experiments in evolution, genetics, cellular decision making, and gene expression will be conducted. The course consists of both "wet" lab experiments and computer simulations on the same topics. Similarly, lectures on the biological background will be presented both from the experimental and the theoretical perspectives. At the end of the course, participants will present their work. Participants of this course get hands-on experience with state-of-the-art experimental and computational techniques in biological physics. Contents of the course: Conducting evolution experiments, evolution of drug resistance Modelling population genetics and evolution Statistical analysis of experiments Teaching methods: Wet lab, computer simulations, lectures, seminar Please register via KLIPS2.0 (Cologne students) or via email to Johannes Berg (Bonn students).
This course will be of interest for physics students beyond their bachelor, students who start their master project soon, and Ph.D. students from other fields who wish to broaden their horizon. We will discuss particle detectors as mostly used in particle physics with focus on silicon tracking detectors. If time alows, we will also venture a bit into medical applications. The intensive week will take place at the Physikalisches Institute in Bonn. The exact room and lab will be announced to registered participants over e-mail in the week before the course. Please register between June 1, 2024 and August 31, 2024 on eCampus.
This intensive week is for all MSc. students who want to improve their programming skills, starting with the basics. Practical computer programming is an a useful life skill to have, and many projects in physics rely on programming in some way or other. The wider world beyond physics is increasingly shaped by those who know and enjoy coding. This intensive week will cover the basics of programming in in the language Julia (which, syntax-wise, is similar to Python and Matlab). Open-ended collaborative coding projects will come from different domains of physics, especially statistical physics. Please register via email to Johannes Berg.

Tuesday-Thursday, 16.00-19.00 The program starts with some basic classical concepts on the matter-radiation interaction leading to the description of absorption and scattering processes and then expanded to the quantum-mechanical formalism. The lectures will cover fundamental spectroscopic concepts applied to the study of low energy magnetic interactions and elementary excitations in solids and how these interactions and excitations can be detected by X-ray Magnetic Cicular Dichroism (XMCD), X-ray Magnetic Linear Dichroism (XMLD) and non-linear spectroscopies, such as Raman and Resonant Inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS). The lectures will be accompanied by exercises. It is foreseen that successful attendance of the exercises will be rewarded within the credit-point scheme.

Wednesdays & Fridays, 14.00-17.00 The lectures are thought for graduate students in condensed matter. The program starts with some basic classical concepts on the matter-radiation interaction leading to the description of absorption and scattering processes and then expanded to the quantum-mechanical formalism. The lectures will cover fundamental spectroscopic concepts applied to the study of low energy magnetic interactions and elementary excitations in solids and how these interactions and excitations can be detected by X-ray Magnetic Cicular Dichroism (XMCD), X-ray Magnetic Linear Dichroism (XMLD) and non-linear spectroscopies, such as Raman and Resonant Inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS). The lectures will be accompanied by exercises. Successful attendance of the exercises will be rewarded within the credit-point scheme.
