Prof. Dr. H.-C. Schultz-Coulon

Lectures: INF 227, HS 1

Tue, 14:15 - 16:00

Thu, 14:15 - 16:00

The lecture focuses on modern particle physics;
it will discuss the building blocks of matterand
the forces between them.

 

The lecture is based on:
Modern Particle Physics
von M. Thomson

 

 

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 22nd October with a repetition of PEP-IV material. The first sheet will
be online 20.10.21 and has to be uploaded by 27.10.21 at 18h00

 

Lecture Streaming and Tutorials:

The lecture will be held in the large lecture hall at KIP (HS 1) and all students vaccinated,
recovered or tested (3G, i.e. geimpft, genesen, getestet) are welcome to attend in person.
Wearing a medical mask is mandatory. The lecture will be also streamed on youtube (links).

The tutorials will be held in person. Wearing a medical mask is mandatory. However, if
distances of at least 1.5m can be safely kept, masks can be removed once seated.
Personal details must be recorded each time using the QR codes posted at the entrance
or on each table of a lecture hall. These rules apply for attending the lecture and the tutorial.

The streamed lectures will be available until the end of the term.

 

Exam:

The exam will take place on Tuesday, February 15, at 14h00 until 16h00 at
INF 308 HS1. Please be there at least 15 minutes beforehand so that we can check your student ID. The exam will be held only in-person, 3G rules apply.

 

Exam review:

The exam review (Klausureinsicht) will take place on Friday, February 18, INF 227, SR 1.403/4

11h00 - 12h00: groups 1,2,3 (Uli Uwer, Skyler Degenkolb, Norbert Herrmann)

12h00 - 13h00: groups 4,5,6 (Alberto Caliva, Kai Schweda, Tamasi Kar)

Please bring a valid identity card and your student ID for the review.

 

Retry Exam:

Friday, April 29, 14h00 - 16h00, INF 227 HS1  

 

Lecture Notes and slides:

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.
