Particle Physics 4

Introduction

5 Jan 2004 --- Welcome to Particle Physics 4.
All the information regarding this course - Lecture notes, Tutorials, 0rganisation - will be given on this page. Please come and enter the fascinating world of Particle Physics.

22 Mar All lecture notes on the web.
22 Feb No lecture and no tutorial will be held on Tue 24 Feb and Thu 26 Feb.
If you are interested in spending your summer at CERN, see URL

I've made a list of links to useful Particle Physics web pages

Lectures are at 9-10 am in room 6206 JCMB on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Tutorials will be held in room 6203 JCMB on Tuesdays 3 - 4 pm, except on Jan 13 (week 2) when, at the same time, room 6324 JCMB will be used.
I will be available in my office, 4407 JCMB, to discuss matters relating to the course for one hour after each lecture; of course you can try also at other times but I may not be there.
You can telephone me on 50 5235 or e-mail me at F.Muheim@ed.ac.uk

The outline of the course is given here.

Lecture notes are available after each lecture as PostScript files . Hardcopies are available upon request.
