Syllabus
- Text Book -
Perkins, "Introduction To High Energy
Physics," 4th Edition, Cambridge University Press, ISBN: 0-521-62196-8
- Scope: We will cover the first six chapters:
- We will follow my notes for Weak interactions of heavy quarks
- We will follow my notes for Neutrinos
- We will use several sources for detectors
Homework Assignments
Philosophy
The class will
consist of a mixture of lecture, discussion and problem solving. Assigned
homework will be discussed in the next class. It is essential that you come
to class, so attendance is required.
Grades
Grades will be based on the homework. You should be prepared to put the problems on the blackboard at the start
of each class.
Extra Reading
- Field Theory and the Standard Model
- Applications of QCD to Hadron-Hadron Collisions: Theoretical
- Jet Algorithms
- Running Coupling Constants
- E. D. Commins & P. H. Buscksbaum, "Weak Interactions of leptons and quarks"
- C. Quigg, "Gauge Theories of the Strong, Weak, and Electromagnetic Interactions"
- Particle Data Group review of particle properties
- J.D. Bjorken and S.D. Drell, "Relativistic quantum fields," McGraw-Hill (1965).
