Knowledge |
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.
