TFFY27 | Elementary Particle Physics, 5 ECTS-points /Elementarpartikelfysik/ Advancement level: D | |
Aim: To give an introduction to modern elementary particle physics with emphasis on theory.Prerequisites: TFFY 54 Quantum Mechanics. The courses TFFY 02 Mathematical Methods in physics, TFFY 58 Quantum Dynamics and TFFY 26 Theory of Relativity are not required but suitable.Course organization: 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.Course content: Introductory overview of sub-nuclear physics. Symmetry transformations and conservation laws. Hadron spectroscopy. The quark model. Weak interactions. The standard model and experimental tests. Beyond the standard model.Course literature: W. E. Burcham and W. Jobes, Nuclear and Partide Physics, Longman Scientific and Technical. | ||
