The Talented Undergraduate Program at Peking University is designed to identify and nurture the next generation of leaders in physics in China. Combining rigorous academic training with opportunities for research and professional development, this program provides exceptional students with the resources and support necessary to excel in their chosen field and make meaningful contributions to the scientific community.
As part of the program, the particle physics Summer School offers a unique opportunity for gifted students to deepen their knowledge and understanding of this important field. The students will receive an overview of particle physics essentials during the one-week Summer School program, including topics such as
Introduction to Particle Physics
The Standard Model
Conservation Laws in Particle Physics
Symmetries in Particle Physics
Subatomic Particles
Fundamental Particles and Interactions
Leptons and Quarks
Properties of subatomic particles
Particle Detectors
