Prof. Dr. S. Degenkolb Prof. Dr. U. Uwer Lectures: INF 227, HS2 Thursdays, 14:15 am - 16:00 am, Fridays, 14:15 am - 16:00 am Lectures will start on 17 September. Tutorials: Fridays, will start on 25 Oct The written examination is planned for xxx, 2025, time and room will be announced in due time.

The lecture focuses on modern experimental particle physics. It will discuss the building blocks of matter and their inteactions. 

Topics of the lecture:
General consepts in particle physics; particle detection, accelerators,  QED Langrangian and Fenyman rules;  ee-annihilation; Weak inteaction: Wu and Goldhaber experiments; V-A structure, muon und pion decay, neutrino-quark scattering; Electroweak Lagrangian and Feynman rules; Experimental test of electroweak theory: Precision Z-Physics, sin2thetaw, atomic partity violation;Static quark modell and its predictions; Deep inelastics lepton-nucleon scattering; Introduction to QCD; Experimental tests of QCD in ee-annihilation; Neutrino oscillation and neutrino mass; Casimir force;

Topics in italic are short theory blocks.

Prerequisites:

Lecture "Introduction of the Nuclear and Particle Physics (PEP4)".
