Standard Model of Particle Physics
Content
The course will cover the Standard Model of Particle Physics from the theoretical and experimental perspective.
The gauge theories of electroweak and strong interactions and their experimental tests will be described.
The current status of the Standard Model and some directions for searches of beyond the Standard Model physics are discussed.
