Lecture Description
The Course (taught in English) provides an introduction to Elementary Particle Physics. The focus is on experimental aspects, complemented with phenomenological and theoretical considerations. Followinga chronological introduction, the development of the Standard Model of Particles and Interactions is described. The main topics include
- Quarks and leptons
- Interactions and fields
- Invariance principles and conservation laws
- Quarks in hadrons
- Lepton and quark scattering
- Quark interactions and quantum chromodynamics (QCD)
- Weak interactions
- Electroweak interactions and the Standard Model
- Physics beyond the Standard Model
Exercise sessions complement the lectures.
