ED352 - Course 'Standard Model', Aoife BHARUCHA

In this course we discuss the construction of
the Standard Model, including the Higgs
mechanism, fermion interactions and an
introduction to the concept of effective field
theories. We then talk about QCD, including
the one loop beta-function, asymptotic
freedom, QCD factorisation and inelastic
scattering. Further lectures are devoted to the
anomalies, quark flavour physics, neutrino

physics and theories of Programme 1 Introduction physics beyond the
