Slides of the lectures are posted three days after the lecture has been
given. All the talks will be removed a week after
the end of the session.
Particle Physics by Roger Dixon
This talk gives an introduction to Particle Physics. It starts
by introducing the basic concepts that will be used in the next
lectures and continues by asking some of the most intriguing
questions that motivated the development to the contemporary Physics.

Cosmology by Dan Hooper
The lecture begins with describing the universe's building blocks,
the interaction between them and their characteristic features.
The lecture finishes with the current ideas about string cosmology.

Relativity by Ricardo Eusebi
This lecture covers the basic principles of the theory of special
relativity together with enlightening examples of every day
applications. Concepts of the more broader general relativity are
also explained.
See slides ppt (1.4 MB).
Accelerators by Elvin Harms
This lecture begins by introducing the physical principles of
particle acceleration. The basic concepts are then expanded by
gradually introducing refinements to the basic concept, until the
picture of today's particle accelerators is complete.

Detectors by Marcel Demarteau
This lecture starts detailing the interaction of particles with matter
and, after many live exhibitions, ends with a description of the large
scale, high-tech particle detectors that are used in High Energy Physics
to understand nature at its smallest scale.

Symmetry by Christopher Hill
Symmetries are one of the most fundamental, beautiful and powerful
aspects of contemporary particle physics. This lecture introduces
symmetry as an organizational principle and shows the profound implications
of this idea

Quantum Mechanics by Robert Plunkett
The concepts of Quantum mechanics dominate modern Physics. This lecture
exposes the basic concepts and seemingly odd behavior of particles and
fields in their essence.

Anti-matter by Robert Tschirhart
This lecture shows the remarkable theoretical prediction, and subsequent
verification, that led to the anti-matter discovery. In addition, the
lecture discusses its properties and the reasons for the lack of antimatter
in the universe.
See slides part1,
part2.
Physics and Society by Erik Ramberg
This lecture talks about the interaction between science and society,
differentiating between scientific and non-scientific questions.
It shows how the current scientific challenges are view, used, and
sometimes misused by the society in which we live.
