| Abstract | In PPP II the standard model of particle physics will be developed from the point of view of gauge invariance. The concepts and computational techniques learned during the PPP I course in the context of QED will applied and expanded to the strong and electroweak interactions. The spontaneous symmetry breaking and the Higgs mechanism will also be introduced. | |||||
| Learning objective | The objective of the course is to deepen the knowledge on particle physics the students acquired during their bachelor studies. A clear connection between the theory and the experiments will be given in order to provide a comprehensive modern view of the standard model. | |||||
| Content | Hadrons (the strong force, discovery), e-p scattering (elastic and deep inelastic), the parton model (the eighfoldway, the quark model, the evidence of color), Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), Running of alpha strong, asymptotic freedom, hadronization, experimental tests of QCD, heavy quarks, hadron spectroscopy, neutrinos and the three lepton families, weak interaction and parity violation, weak and neutral charge currents, GIM mechanism, lepton universality, gauge field theories and spontaneous symmetry breaking, the electroweak theory, the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism, computations and experimental tests of the electroweak theory, neutrino-nucleon interactions, the Standard Model, flavor oscillations and CP violation | |||||
