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 and TFFY 98 Electromagnetic Field Theory and Wave Dynamics. 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. TFFY27 Elementary Particle Physics will be given 1999.

Course content:
Introductory overview of sub-nuclear physics. Symmetry transformations and conservation laws. Hadron spectroscopy. The quark model. Weak interactions. The parton model. The standard model and experimental tests. Beyond the standard model.

Course literature:
To be decided later.
