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.
ONLINE LECTURE AND TUTORIALS
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.
Exam and test exam:
The exam will take place 23.02.2021 at 2pm. It will be online. A short test exam to get familiar with the technical setup and to get an idea how potential exercises in the exam might look like will be performed on 10.02.2021 at 5 pm. The results can be seen (as well online) on 11.02.2021. Participation in the test exam is on a voluntary basis, the results do not count. If you have very good reasons that you cannot write the online exam at home (bad internet, a big and noisy construction side in front of your house, ...) please contact your tutor after the test exam (latest by 14.02.2021).
Retry exam:
The retry exam will be an oral examination, which will take place in the last week of the semester break or the first week of the term. If you are eligible to take part in the retry exam, please register for it latest by 19.03.201 by sending an email to menzemer@physi.uni-heidelberg.de .
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.
