Aim:
he aim with the course is to give the student a good introduction to
modern particle physics. After a successful course the student can:
- solve basic problems within basic nuclear physics with different formalisms,
for instance within different models of the nucleus
- use relativistic four vector formalism to solve problems within paricle
physics
- use a mathematical formalism to treat some fundamental concepts within
particle physics like isospin, SU(3), SU(4), SU(5), and so called gauge invariance to solve some longer theoreticl issues.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Recommended preknowledge : A basic course in quantum mechanics
including perturbation theory. Quantum dynamics and Relativity is not
absolutely needed.
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course is divided into lectures and problem solving in connection to the lectures. The course will be given provided a sufficient number of students have registered. The course will be given in english if needed.
The course will be given every second year alternating with TFYY02 Chaos and non-linear phenomena.
