| THR COURSE IS AN INTRODUCTION TO MODERN THEORETICAL PHYSICS, PRESENTED IN A CONCISE FORM, SUITABLE FOR APPLICATIONS. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE OBJECTIVE OF THE LECTURES IS TO TRACE A PATH FOR THE UNDERSTANDING AND THE APPLICATION, IN A CRITICAL WAY, OF ALL THE NOTIONS INHERENT TO THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THEORETICAL PHYSICS. THIS TARGET WILL BE PURSUED ALSO PROVIDING THE STUDENTS WITH SPECIFIC DIDACTIC MATERIALS. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE AIM IS TO MAKE STUDENTS ABLE TO EFFICIENTLY HANDLE THEORETICAL NOTIONS AND APPLICATIONS IN THEORETICAL PHYSICS. THIS IS EXPECTED TO FAVOUR THE INCLUSION IN NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS, AS WELL AS IN DIFFERENT WORKING ENVIRONMENTS. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE IS ADDRESSED TO THE STUDENTS WITH INTEREST FOR HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS AND COSMOLOGY, AS WELL AS FOR STUDENTS INTERESTED TO CONDENSED MATTER AND SOLID STATE PHYSICS. THE MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE RECEIVED IN THE COURSES OF THE FRIST LEVEL IS REQUIRED. |
| Contents | |
|---|---|
| THEORY OF SCATTERING IN QUAMTUM MECHANICS. CROSS SECTIONS. CENTRAL POTENTIALS. OPTIC THEOREM. PATH INTEGRAL FORMULATION OF QUANTUM MECHANICS: DERIVATION OF THE SCHOEDINGER EQUATION. HARMONIC OSCILLATOR (COMPOUTATION OF THE EIGENVALUES AND EIGENSTATES). RELATIVISTIC WAVE EQUATIONS: KLEIN-GORDON EQUATIONS. DIRAC EQUATIONS. DIRAC PARTICLE IN AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD. NON RELATIVISTIC LIMIT. MAGNETIC MOMENTUM OF THE ELECTRON. QUANTIZATION OF SCALAR AND FERMION FIELDS. GAUGE THEORIES (AN INTRODUCTION). QUANTIZATION OF THE SCALAR AND FERMION FIELDS. ELEMENTARY PROCESSES IN QED. |
| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| LECTURES WITH APPLICATIONS AND EXERCISES ON TOPIC RELATED TO THE CONTENTS OF THE COURSE ARE GIVEN TO THE STDENTS. THE AIM IS TO PROVIDE FUNDAMENTAL NOTIONS OF PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS ALLOWING THE DESCRIPTION OF NEW PHYSICAL PHENOMENA, TO PERFORM ALSO IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER RESEARCHERS. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| ORAL EXAMINATIONS ARE PERFORMED WITH THE AIM OF VERIFYING THAT STUDENTS HAVE CORRECTLY LEARNED AND UNDERSTOOD THE ARGUMENTS OF THE LECTURES. THEY MUST ALSO SHOW ABILITY TO EXPOSE IN A CLEAR AND SYNTETIC WAY THE ARGUMENTS OF THE LECTURES AND TO FORMULATE AUTONOMOUS JUDGEMENTS. |
