Dear All,<br class="">
<br class="">
I'd like to announce a class that I will teaching next semester, PHYS 6802 - Introduction to Elementary Particle Physics. The course is open to advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students. It assumes no prior knowledge of particle physics and will
cover the following:</div>
<div dir="auto" class="" style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">
<div class=""><br class="">
<i class="">Symmetries and group theory, relativistic QM, particle detectors and experiments, Feynman diagrams, the particles of the SM and the gauge theories of their interactions — charged leptons, photons, and QED; gluons, quarks, and the strong force (QCD);
neutrinos, W/Z bosons and the weak force; the Higgs boson and the Higgs mechanism. </i></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We will make use of current research at CERN’s LHC throughout the course to illustrate these concepts.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We will probably use a new book, “<i class="">Concepts of Elementary Particle Physics</i>” by Micheal E. Peskin (SLAC), which the author has kindly made available as a free pdf at <a href="http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~mpeskin/Physics152/theBook.pdf" class="">http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~mpeskin/Physics152/theBook.pdf</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Grades will determined by 4 HW assignments (60%) and final (40%). The prerequisites for the course are familiarity with relativistic kinematics and non-relativistic QM. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please register as soon as possible if you are interested in taking this course. A draft syllabus is attached, but feel free to contact me if you would like any further information.</div>
