AdvancedParticlePhysics FK8022 David Milstead Thomas Schwetz-Mangold
Course aims • Breadth • Build on ParticlePhysics 1 (FK7003) • Morecomplete and up-to-date treatmentofcollider and non-colliderphysics. • Depth • Provide short derivations for phenomenaratherthan hand-wavingexplanations as in PP1-level courses. • Derivations not always the mostrigorousbutare start-to-finish and chosen to be pedagogically excellent. • Demystifyimportantresultsthatwetake for grantedbutareoftenpoorlyunderstood. EgSU(3) , hadronmultiplets, renormalisation etc.
Books • No singlebookpossible. • Handouts to be given whereappropriate. • Lecturesbased on: • D. Green, Lectures on ParticlePhysics, World Scientific. • Griffiths, IntroductiontoElementaryParticles, Wiley. • Perkins, IntroductiontoHigh Energy Physics, Addison-Wesley • Halzen and Martin, Quarks and Leptons, Wiley • Articles in the Arxiv.
Inlämningsuppgifter • 3-4 inlämningsuppgifter. • A typical solution does not require a page ofmathematics. • Somequestionsareopen-ended and requiresome research beyond the text books, egarxiv articles. • a physicistshould be ablewithin an hour or so tofindappropriatesources and obtain a goodunderstanding (=1-2 pptslides) of the methodology and principles behindany experimental result in his/herfield.
Inlämningsuppgifter • Volunteers (or groupsofvolunteers) invitedtogive a short presentations at the start of a lecturetocertainquestions. • Eg from inlämningsuppgift 1.
