General Information

Time and place:
24.-28. April 2006, each day at 14 s.t. - 17
neuer HS, Pw 12

The course will be given in English if there is a demand for it, otherwise in German.

The course will be a continuation of my course in the previous semester (Theory of the Standard Model of Particle Physics I).

The two courses together are suitable for an exam (for example "Wahlfach" for diploma exam). I will not be available for exams, but several other faculty members are available for exams on these lectures. Please contact me directly if you plan to choose this course for an exam.

Contents

Renormalization
Quantum Chromodynamics
CP Violation
Neutrino Physics
Physics Beyond the Standard Model

Prerequisites

Equivalent of the first part of the course.

Course Material

Lecture notes will be made available in the library (Philosophenweg 16), and (maybe) also on this web page.
