PHYS0225-1

Theoretical physics, part I: fields

[ version française ]

Duration :30h Th
Credits/ECTS :
2nd "licence" in physical sciences
Holder(s) :Jean‑René Cudell
Course contents : Field theory course with an emphasis on quantum electrodynamics
Course objective : The course has a double purpose: on the one hand, to give a practical knowledge of field theory, so that students can calculate the amplitudes for simple processes; on the other hand, to link field theory with solid state physics and particle physics, and to finish by the definition of charges and masses through renormalisation.
Prerequisites : Fourth-year compulsory field theory course.
Workshops : Two discussion sessions of 1h30 each.
Organization : The course will have 20 sessions of 1h30. The schedule will be agreed upon at the beginning of the year.
Written notes : M.E. Peskin et D.V. Schroeder, An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory (Addison-Wesley : 1995).
Assessment : There will be a written exam at the end of the year, followed by a few oral questions.
