In this semester, the course on
Advanced Particle Physics
and the course
Introduction to the Standard Model
are combined into a single lecture.
The lecture will give an introduction into the experimental foundation of
today's understanding of the sub-nuclear physics and will introduce the
Standard Model, the theoretical description of particle physics.
The gauge theories of
electroweak and strong interactions and their experimental tests will
be described. The present status of the Standard Model, open
experimental questions, and possible beyond the Standard Model
physics are discussed.
The lectcure is meant for students whose interest in particle physics
was triggerd during the course lecture "Physik 5".
The course is part of the program of the "Heidelberg Graduate School
of Fundamental Physics". It is recommended for diploma and
doctoral students in experimental/theoretical particle physics.
