| Holder(s) : | Jean‑René Cudell |
|
| Language : | Langue française |
|
| 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 particle and astroparticle physics, and to finish by the definition of charges and masses through renormalisation. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Quantum mechanics |
|
| Workshops : | No. |
|
| Organization : | The course will have 20 sessions of 1h30. |
|
| Written notes : | Textbook : 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. |
