This course is designed as an introduction to elementary particle physics for MSc students. It provides an introduction to the field of modern particle physics which describes the fundamental constituents of matter and their basic interactions. It includes important concepts and principles, historical developments and current activities, accelerators and detectors, underlying theoretical tools and calculation techniques in elementary particles physics.
The topics covered are: basic properties of elementary particles and the standard model, relativistic kinematics; symmetries: isospin and SU (3), quark model; Parity and CP violation; Feynman diagrams and rules; quantum electrodynamics; cross sections and lifetimes: deep inelastic scattering; and introductory gauge theories and unified models.
