This course will provide an overview of the physical principles behind the particle detection techniques in particle astrophysics research. The course will include laboratory sessions to perform experiments using particle detectors. Topics include interactions of photons, charged particles, neutrons, and neutrinos from low to ultrahigh energies and detectors designed to study them. (3.0 credit units) EXCLUSION: PHYS 841
