Specific characteristics of the Module
| Course unit contents: | Programme:
1. Quantum Elettrodynamics: Feynman rules, tree level processes ( Rutherford, Compton and Bhabha scattering, Bremsstrahlung). 2. Non Abelian gauge theories: non-Abelian gauge fields kinetic terms and selinteractions, covariant derivatives. 3. Quantum Crhomodynamics: The "colour" algebra, Feynman rules and scattering amplitudes for gluons and quarks at tree level. 4. Electroweak gauge theory. The Fermi effective Lagrangian: Feynman rueles and muon decay. SU(2)xU(1) gauge theory and Electroweal unification. 5. Spontaneous symmetry breaking of a symemtry: the discrete and continuum cases. The Goldstone theorem and the Higgs mechanism. 6. Spontaneous symmetry breaking of the Electroweak symmetry. 7. The electroweak Lagrangian for one and three families. |
