Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

This course introduces the main aspects of the theory of Standard Model of Particle Physics. At the end of the course the student will have a comprehensive knowledge of the theoretical foundations of the Standard Model of fundamental interactions. All topics will be taught with a critical perspective that takes into account phenomenological implications. The student will be able to analyse, present and discuss both theoretical aspects and phenomenological features of model building techniques in relativistic quantum field theory.

Contenuti

Place of teaching: Technische Universität Dortmund, Dortmund
