Theoretical Particle Physics (Bonn)
In the module Theoretical Particle Physics you will deepen previous knowledge and specialize in astrophysics, acquire and train new skills. This includes
- to acquire a deep understanding of the Standard Model of elementary particle physics and its extensions (unified theories),
- their knowledge of the methods of theoretical high-energy physics beyond the Standard Model, in particular supersymmetry and extra dimensions with regard to current research,
- to understand and apply methods of quantum field theory thereby improving their ability to compute processes in quantum electrodynamics and/or many particle systems,
The module prepares for topics of current research in Theoretical Particle Physics and towards their own research activity within the master thesis. Lectures in the SAoS Theoretical Particle Physics can be chosen from a list here. For introduction, the lecture Theoretical Particle Physics, physics615, is strongly recommended.
