OFFERTA Didattica EROGATA 2018/2019
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corsi avanzati di Area per il corso di Dottorato in Fisica
nell'ambito di "Fisica Sperimentale delle Alte Energie", titolare prof. G.Punzi
- Statistical Analysis lab. - Period 18/2 - 25/3 (5 weeks, 40h total)
Students will be attend lectures in class, where a few representative statistical problems will be presented, requiring numerical methods for their solution.
In addition to discussions on general methodologies, students will be given specific directions about the problems at hand and will then work on them invidually. They are expected to turn in the results at the next class, where they will be discussed. Each student is expected to perform work using his/her own preferred software platform. It is a precondition of this course that the student has access and the needed knowledge to use a programmable software system capable of performing simple calculations, random number generation, histogramming and plotting.
- Advanced lab of Fundamental Interactions - Period: 10/1 - 14/2 (5 weeks, 40h total)
Each student will have exclusive access to an experimental setup for the duration of the course, and will be assigned a measurement to perform individually.
Classes will be held twice a week, where the teacher will provide guidance and individual feedback to each student, discussing the progress of each measurement.
Students are then expected to work individually on their assignments, with the freedom of choosing their preferred schedule during the opening hours of the lab.
Entrambi questi corsi sono tenuti in inglese, sono espressamente destinati ai dottorandi, e prevedono le 40hs standard di impegno.
- Corso di ‘Scientific Writing for Physicists’ per il corso di Dottorato in Fisica, titolare prof. S. Shore. - Period 14/3 - 31/5 (6 weeks, 24 hs in total)
Requirements: there will be required readings (distributed in advance and also during the session), assigned project; requirement of interactive participation.
Overview:
During the first part, the general issues of scientific writing will be covered. In all cases detailed examples will be provided and prepared for the second part when you will bring your work for analysis. There will be assigned work after the each day that will be due for the next session. Please allow time for the exercises, the material will be of little use without the individual work.
1. Scientific journals: an overview editorial-referee structure of journals - the submission and review process at different journals and how it's developed, overview
2. Structure of a paper, details of construction: abstracts, introductions, discussions
3. Citations and the literature
4. Ethical issues: this is a particularly important part of the course
5. Statistics, experimental details, how complete does the paper need to be?
6. Graphs, figures: preparation issues (this is NOT as simple as it seems)
7. The submission process - preparing the paper
8. Responding to a referee report(s)
9. Facilities, acknowledgments
10. How to prepare a referee report
11. Grant proposals, various examples
12. Conference presentations: preparing your talk (additional material: conference proceedings: preparing the paper
14. Internal refereeing (collaborations) (this will take some time, be prepared with examples of your own for the discussions)
14. Posting papers online: when, how, why?
Il corso è tenuto in inglese, ed è espressamente destinato ai dottorandi.
Sono inoltre definiti dei panieri di corsi, mutuati prevalentemente dai Corsi di Laurea dei percorsi Magistrali dell’Università di Pisa e della Scuola Normale, e consigliati per gli studenti del primo anno. La funzione di questi elenchi è facilitare le scelte degli studenti, che possono in tal modo usufruire tra rose di corsi già approvate dalla Commissione Didattica del Dottorato di Ricerca in Fisica. L’elenco completo di Corsi mutuati è visibile qui
Sono infine erogati moduli di Didattica Trasversale specificatamente organizzata per il Dottorato dall’Università di Pisa. I moduli di maggiore interesse per i Dottorandi di Ricerca in Fisica sono:
