ABOUT THE COURSE:
Standard Model of particle physics has been immensely successful in describing the electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions of the visible sector particles to a high degree of accuracy. Theoretical developments in this regard involved the concepts of quantum field theory, gauge invariance, conserved charges, spontaneous symmetry breaking, and many such novel ideas; while the experimental validation also required a lot of innovations, starting from the idea of high energy probes, observing parity violation, statistical analysis in signal identification from background contamination and so on. Many Nobel prizes have been awarded to this development. The course aims to take the students through this spectacular journey aimed to imprint these ideas, make them equipped to calculate and estimate some of the measurables and grow further curiosity to tackle the ongoing problems that physicists aim to address in coming years.
INTENDED AUDIENCE: Masters, and PhD students in physics discipline.
PREREQUISITES: A student pursuing or completed master’s degree (M.Sc.) in Physics, with familiarity to the basics of Mathematical Physics and Advanced quantum mechanics is eligible for the course.
INDUSTRY SUPPORT: Not much.
