FYSH300, particle physics, fall 2013
This page contains the lecture slides (condensed version of K.J.Eskola's
lecture notes)
for the first half of the course. The second half is lectured by K.J.Eskola.
The exercise questions are in the TA's

Lecture material
KJE's lecture notes (ask lecturer for password); recommended reading, lectures follow these closely,
TL's slides; printouts of these will be distributed in the lectures; I will try to maintain typo corrected versions here.
- section 1 introduction
- section 2 special relativity and collision kinematics,
- section 3 scattering theory
- section 4 particles and interactions of the standard model
Typo corrections:
- A+1 -> A-1 in beta+ decay, slide 15
- neutron -> neutrino in Cowan-Reines experiment
- section 5 spacetime symmetries
- section 6 Hadrons, isospin, resonances
- section 7 Hadrons and color
