Course description:
General features of the nucleus and
the nuclear forces: the Yukawa meson theory of the nuclear forces. Scalar
and vector bosons, Proca-equation. The isospin in nuclear physics; strangeness;
spin dependence of nuclear forces. The development of the quark concept.
Physics of quarks - quantumchromodynamics - the quantum theory of quark
interactions.. Lepton-quark symmetry. The phenomenology of weak interactions:
basic weak interactions. The neutrino hypothesis. The universal 4 fermion
weak interaction. The Lee-Yang hypothesis on P-symmetry violation and its
experimental justification. The consequences of P-violation. CP violation:
neutral kaons, CP symmetry and K0 physics; Cronin-Fitch effect. High energy
neutrino physics and the intermediate vector-bosons: the problem of the
neutrino types. The discovery of the tau lepton; W boson; the experimental
discovery of Z0. The GUT (Grand Unified Theory) and its predictions. Supersymmetry
and super unification. Astrophysical and cosmological applications.
