Elementary Particle Physics

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: FK7062

Particle physics is about the fundamental particles in Nature. The course explains how the nucleons are built up of quarks and demonstrates the existence of quarks. The standard model of particle physics describes interactions between the known quarks, leptons and gauge bosons via the three known fundamental forces. The course discusses the standard model and shows how Feynman diagrams can be used to illustrate processes and compute cross sections. Remaining questions of the standard model are examined and theories beyond the standard model are discussed. Additionally, different experimental methods applied in Particle Physics are discussed.

Behörighet

Admission to the course requires knowledge equivalent to passed courses (excluding introductory courses) of 45 credits in mathematics and 60 credits in physics, where the courses Quantum Mechanics, 7.5 credits (FK5020) and Atomic and Molecular Physics, 7.5 credits (FK5023) should be included. Additionally, requires knowledge equivalent to upper secondary school English B/English 6.
