8.325 Relativistic Quantum Field Theory III
)
Prereq: 8.324
Units: 4-0-8
Lecture: TR9-10.30 (VIRTUAL) Recitation: F3 (VIRTUAL)
The third and last term of the quantum field theory sequence. Its aim is the proper theoretical discussion of the physics of the standard model. Topics: quantum chromodynamics; Higgs phenomenon and a description of the standard model; deep-inelastic scattering and structure functions; basics of lattice gauge theory; operator products and effective theories; detailed structure of the standard model; spontaneously broken gauge theory and its quantization; instantons and theta-vacua; topological defects; introduction to supersymmetry.
