- This course is offered in the sixth semester of the nuclear and particle physics direction of the undergraduate program with 65 hours in class. I teach the part of particle physics. It presents the foundations of modern particle physics in an elementary way, starting with an overview of the standard model of elementary particles, and then discusses the topics of discrete and continuous symmetries and conservation laws—with many examples of allowed and forbidden reactions—, Feynman diagrams, hadron structure in the static quark model, and an elementary introduction of the concepts of colour and the chromo-dynamic interaction. The course is complemented with practice exercises in the laboratory, where I teach the exercise on the study of γ-radiation with a scintillator.
