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.
