Quark and Lepton-Flavor Physics
Lecture for master and PhD students with specialization in Particle Physics.
This ist the lecture web-page for summer semester 2020. The web-page for the pectre in summer semester 2021 can be found here.
Lecturer: U. Uwer uwer@physi.uni-heidelberg.de
Time:
Tuesdays, 14:15 - 16:00, Start: April 21st, 2020
The examen will take place on Tuesday, Jul 28th, at 14:15 as an online examination. The details will be sent to all registered participants.
Attention: To minimize infection risks with the corona virus the lecture will be held as "tele-lecture" using the conference tool heiconf supplied by the university:

Contents
The lecture introduces the concepts of flavor physics and covers the physics of electro-weak interactions between quarks and leptons. The course adresses theortical and experimental aspects:
- Introduction to flavor physics in the standard model
- Experimental evidence of quarks and leptons
- Quark flavor physics: Meson mixing, CP violation, rare decays
- Lepton flavor physics: lepton flavor violation, electric and magnetic moments
- Neutrinos: masses and oscillations
Depending on the conference tool used an invitation by eMail needs to be sent. It is therefore recommended to register for the lecture.
