402-0871-00LSolid State TheoryW10 KP4V + 1UM. Sigrist
KurzbeschreibungDiese Vorlesung richtet sich an Studierende der Experimentalphysik und der theoretischen Physik. Sie bietet eine Einführung in wichtige theoretische Konzepte der Festkörperphysik.
LernzielZiel der Vorlesung ist die Entwicklung eines theoretischen Rahmens zum Verständnis grundlegender Phänomene der Festkörperphysik. Dazu gehören Symmetrien, Bandstrukturen, Teilchen-Teilchen Wechselwirkung, Landau Fermi-Flüssigkeiten, sowie spezifische Themen wie Transport, Supraleitung, Magnetismus. Die Übungen unterstützen und illustrieren die Vorlesung durch handwerkliches Lösen spezifischer Probleme. Der Student versteht grundlegende theoretische Konzepte der Festkörperphysik und kann Probleme selbständig lösen. Es werden keine diagrammatischen Techniken behandelt.

402-0702-00LPhenomenology of Particle Physics IIW6 KP2V + 1UM. Dittmar, M. Grazzini
KurzbeschreibungIn PPP II the standard model of particle physics will be developed from the point of view of gauge invariance. The example of QED will introduce the essential concepts. Then we will treat both strong and electroweak interactions. Important examples like deep inelastic lepton-hadron scattering, e+e- -> fermion antifermion, and weak particle decays will be calculated in detail.

KurzbeschreibungThe course examines various topics in astrophysics with an emphasis on physical processes occurring in an expanding Universe, from a time about 1 microsecond after the Big Bang, to the formation of galaxies and supermassive black holes within the next billion years.
LernzielThe course examines various topics in astrophysics with an emphasis on physical processes occurring in an expanding Universe. These include the Robertson-Walker metric, the Friedmann models, the thermal history of the Universe after 1 micro-sec including Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, and introduction to Inflation, and the growth of structure through gravitational instability. The observational determination of cosmological parameters is studied in some detail, including the imprinting of temperature fluctuations on the microwave background. Finally, the key physics of the formation of galaxies and the development of black-hole is reviewed, including the way in which the first structures re-ionize the Universe.
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesThis course covers the former Wahlfach course "Cosmology and Large-Scale Structure of the Universe" (402-0377-00L). Therefore it is not allowed to take credits for both courses.

Prior completion of Astrophysics I is recommended but not required.
