Prerequisites (description)
Learning outcomes
The student receives fundamental knowledge on the relativistic Dirac equation, Quantum Electrodynamics and other quantum field theories. Student is able to solve the Dirac equations in simple potentials, calculate tree-level Feynman diagrams with fermions, scalars and gauge bosons, determine differential and total cross-sections for scattering processes, as well as lifetimes of unstable particles.
Assessment criteria
One or two written tests.
Written and oral final exams.
Practical placement
none
