| Semester | Herbstsemester 2024 |
| Dozierende | P. Crivelli, A. de Cosa |
| Periodizität | jährlich wiederkehrende Veranstaltung |
| Lehrsprache | Englisch |
| Kurzbeschreibung | The course focuses on the connection between particle physics theory and experimental results to provide a comprehensive modern view of the Standard Model. The covered topics are quantum electrodynamics (QED) and quantum chromodynamics (QCD). | ||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | The students will deepen the knowledge on particle physics acquired during their bachelor studies. They will be able to apply the basics of relativistic quantum field theory (QFT) to derive the Feynman rules and to apply those to compute QED and QCD processes. They will be able to explain and discuss the connection between theory and experiments. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | Topics to be covered in Phenomenology of Particle Physics I: • Relativistic kinematics • Decay rates and cross sections • Quantisation of Klein-Gordon (boson) and Dirac (fermion)’s fields • From the S-matrix to the Feynman rules of QED • Scattering processes in QED/QCD and running of alpha and alpha_s • Experimental tests of QED and QCD | ||||||||||||||||||
