Contents
The lecture deals with the fundamental constituents of matter and the interactions between these constituents. The electromagnetic, strong, and weak interactions are explored, both from a phenomenological and from the experimental side. In particular, the lecture will deal with these topics:
- Overview of experimental methods (particle accelerators, detectors)
- Kinematics of scattering processes at high energies
- Calculation of cross sections (Feynman diagrams, perturbation theory)
- Representative processes of the electromagnetic, strong, and weak interactions
- Symmetries and local gauge invariance
- Standard Model of particle physics, precision tests
- Spontaneous breaking of the electroweak symmetry via the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism
- Quantum mechanical mixing, CP violation in the quark and neutrino sector
- Search for physics beyond the Standard Model
