Quark and Lepton-Flavor Physics
Lecture for master and PhD students with specialization in Particle Physics (SoSe 2021).
Lecturer: U. Uwer uwer@physi.uni-heidelberg.de
Time: Tuesdays, 14:15 - 16:00, Start: April 13th, 2021
To minimize infection risks with the corona virus the lecture will be held as "tele-lecture" using zoom. Please register via the Übungsgruppenverwaltung using this link to obain the zoom connection details.
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
The zoom link for the lecture will be distributed by eMail. It is therefore recommended to register here for the lecture to obtain all information.
