The theoretical lectures on calorimeters will review the principle of Calorimetry and the main techniques used in present and future HEP experiments. A special emphasis will be given to highly granular calorimeters, which are the technology of choice for particle flow applications in HEP, but are also representative of the current R&D in the field of positron emission tomography.

The study of the neutrino is the study of physics beyond the Standard Model. We now know that the neutrinos have mass and that neutrino mixing occurs causing neutrino flavour to oscillate as neutrinos propagate through space and time. Further, some measurements can be interpreted as hints for new particles known as sterile neutrinos. The measured values of the mixing parameters make it...

In Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR), a short laser pulse is transmitted from a ground station to an orbiting satellite and reflected back to the station, which measures the roundtrip time of flight and hence the station-to-satellite range. The first laser returns from an artificial satellite were recorded by a NASA team at Goddard Space Flight Center on 29 October 1964.The satellite, Beacon...

Following the launch of the first geodetic satellites in the 1970s, SLR contributed heavily to our early modeling of the Earth’s gravity field, global tectonic plate motion, and regional crustal deformation near plate boundaries.

Muons are higly penetrating particles, which can travel for several kilometers in rocks. They are produced by the interactios between cosmic ray and the atmosphere. Due to their features they can be used in an imaging method call muon tomography. Muon interactions strongly depend from Z number of the material crossed by comic ray. Therefore, because of this characteristic, different material...
