This course aims to explore the discovery and characterization of a Higgs Boson particle. By the end of the course, learners will understand the significance of the Higgs Boson in the Standard Model, the role of accelerators and detectors in its discovery, and its properties such as couplings, spin, and parity. The teaching method involves lectures and presentations by experts in the field. This course is intended for individuals interested in particle physics, particularly those with a background or keen interest in experimental physics and the mysteries of mass in the universe.
