Centrum interdisciplinárních studií – Faculty of Philosophy and Science in Opava - Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Theoretical Physics (programme FPF, N1701 Fyz)
- Course objectives
- To acquaint students with the theory of interacting quantum fields and its applications, in particular spinor electrodynamics. The cross-sections of selected processes are calculated in detail in lectures, exercises and more in the individual work of students.
- Syllabus
- Theory of interacting fields. Symmetry and the interaction Lagrangian, electromagnetic interactions and spinorových scalar particle, pion-nucleon interaction. Local gauge invariance. Dirac image, Moelerův operator S and T operator, the matrix elements (cases normalization of the final volume and continuous spectrum). Transition amplitude, decay rate, cross section. Perturbation expansion of the operator invariant perturbation method. Wick's theorem.
Spinor electrodynamics. Compton amplitude, Moelerova´s and Bhabha´s scattering of invariant perturbation methods. Feynman diagrams and rules. Processes with charged leptons multiple types.
Scalar electrodynamics. Electron-positron annihilation into two (point) pions. Feynman rules.
Weak interactions in the lepton sector. Neutrinos, calibration bosons, the interaction Lagrangian. Disruption of parity. Lepton decay of W boson, muon decay.
