Prof. Dr. H.-C. Schultz-Coulon Lectures: INF 227, HS 1 Tue, 14:15 - 16:00 16:15 - 17:00 Q/A session Thu, 14:15 - 16:00
The lecture focuses on modern particle physics;
it will discuss the building blocks of matter and
The lecture is based on:

Homeworks and Tutorials:
Exercise sheets will be put online on Wednesdays and have to be upload by Wednesday the
week after. The exercises will not be corrected in detail, but you will get 0 or 1 point depending
if you did a decent attempt to solve the problem even if the solution is not 100% correct. You
can hand in your exercises in groups of maximal three students. Please note all names on
the sheet. We expect every student of the group to be able to present and explain their solution.
60% of the points on the sheets are required to participate in the exam. Admissions to exams
from previous years are not valid this year.
The tutorials will start on 6th November with a repetion of PEP-IV material. The first sheet will
be online 4.11.20 and has to be handed in by 11.11.20.
Covid-19 regulations
WE HAVE TO RUN THE LECTURE AND TUTORIALS PURE ONLINE FOR NOVEMBER.
WE VERY MUCH HOPE TO SWITCH TO A HYBRID FORM FROM DECEMBER ON.
The lecture will be streamed on youtube and simultaneously transmitted via zoom
for fast feedback. The tutorials will be via zoom ( see here for links ).
The streamed lectures will be available until the end of the term. Furthermore, during the lecture you
can ask questions on Rocket-Chat. Prof. Schultz-Coulon will have a look at them during the break
and at the end of the lecture. If needed this concept will be adapted during the course
of the lecture.
Lecture Notes and slides:
The notes and slides to the lecture can be found here.
Link to literature:
The book M. Thomson on "Modern Particle Physics" is availabe at the library. In addition, it is
accessible online via the HEIDI platform of the University Library. Be aware that for reading it online
you have to set up a personal login on the Cambridge Higher Education website. Once having
registered via HEIDI and logged in via your personal account you can use the direct link.
