PHYS-439: Introduction to astroparticle physics

Summary

We provide a comprehensive overview of astroparticle physics, bridging the microworld of cosmic messengers with the large-scale structure and evolution of the Universe. We also explore the detection techniques and technologies that make this investigation possible.
