PHYS 463 - Particle Physics


Units: 3
The study of nature at the highest energies and shortest distances that we can probe in a laboratory. This course will give a general introduction to the elementary particles of the standard model, and the forces that govern them.

Prerequisites: PHYS 126 or PHYS 137. 
Possible Instructional Methods: Entirely On-ground.
Grading: A-F or CR/NC (student choice).
Course Typically Offered: Variable Intermittently


Student Learning Outcomes - Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
 

  1. calculate cross sections for various processes using Feynman calculus;
  2. determine allowed decays for various processes;
  3. classify fundamental subatomic particles by their possible interactions;
  4. explain how particles can be detected by exploiting their interactions with matter.
