Learning outcomes
|
The aim is to provide students with an introduction to the standard model of lementary particles from theorerical, experimental and historical aspects.
Knowledge: Recognize he historical evolution as well as modern formulation of the Standard Model. Describe basic principles, symmetries, particle content and interactions as well as the importance of key discoveries. Discuss why the SM is probably not a complete theory.
