Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
To obtain the lecture certificate you need to participate lectures and arrange for an oral exam after the lecture period.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
In applications of quantum field theory to problems with strong hierarchies of momentum scales one can use a generalized form of the well known Taylor expansion. Its field theoretic form is called the method of effective field theories. In many cases theoretical predictions can only be made in the framework of such effective theories. In the lectures the basic elements of effective field theories and their computational methods will be discussed (WS). An introduction to a number of effective field theories is given that are used in current front line research in elementary particle collider physics (relevant e.g. for the LHC) (SS).
Examination topics
Black board lectures. The students should make notes. It is planned to provide hand written lecture notes.
Reading list
Für diese Vorlesung existieren noch keine dezidierten umfassenden Lehrbücher, da die Thematik zu den neusten Forschungsrichtungen der Elementarteilchenphysik gehört. Nützliche existierende Lehrbücher sind:* Heavy Quark Physics, by Aneesh V. Manohar and Mark B. Wise, Cambridge University Press (exzellentes Lehrbuch zur heavy quark effective theory)* Renormalization, by J. Collins, Cambridge University Press (exzellentes, jedoch etwas wenig didaktisches Lehrbuch zur Renormierungstheorie)* Dynamics of the Standard Model, by J. F. Donoghue, E. Golowich, B. R. Holstein, Cambridge University Press (exzellentes Buch für wichtiges Hintergrundwissen)* An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory, M. E. Peskin and D.V. Schroeder, Perseus Books/Addison Wesley (Klassiker für eine allgemeine feldtheoretische Einführung)
