Kompetenzen
(*)Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of fundamental concepts from the area of subatomic physics, focusing on the areas listed below. They can describe the fundamental principle of the Standard Model.
Fertigkeiten Kenntnisse
(*)Upon completing the course, students will possess the following skills. They are able to

  • explore the fundamental forces and elementary particles in the context of current scientific knowledge (k2/k4/k5);
  • evaluate and address issues related to radiation safety (k4/k5);
  • discuss the future of energy supply, with a focus on the prospects of nuclear fusion (k2-k5);
  • apply the knowledge gained from the lecture to deepen and broaden their understanding of nature (k2-k5).
(*)During the course, students will acquire knowledge in the following areas and concepts of subatomic physics:

fundamentals of nuclear and particle physics:

  • properties of stable nuclei and models of nucleon structure;
  • fundamental interactions and radiative decay;
  • elementary particle nuclear fission and reactors;
  • nuclear fusion and energy generation;
  • measurements in high-energy accelerators.

concepts of the Standard Model:

  • special relativity and symmetry of 4D space;
  • Lorentz covariance and invariance;
  • Lie Groups U(1), SU(2), SU(3);
  • scalar Klein-Gordon equation for the Higgs boson;
  • spinors and Dirac equation for free fermions as electrons, neutrinos and quarks;
  • Proca equation for gauge bosons;
  • irreducible representations in quantum field theory;
  • coupling in Lagrangians through minimal substitution.
