ORIGINAL PAPERS:

For those with a love of scientific history, I will distribute relevant historic papers as we go. The following links should work from with UoE as we have institutional journal subscription. Other papers will be added here, so check back.

Feynman: Space-Time approach to Nonrelativistic Quantum Mechanics

Feynman: Space-Time approach to Quantum Electrodynamics

Yang, Mills: (SU2 Gauge Theory)

Gell-Mann: Hadron symmetries

Goldstone: Broken Symmetries

Higgs: Broken Symmetries and the Masses of Gauge Bosons

T. D. Lee and C. N. Yang :Parity Nonconservation and a Two-Component Theory of the Neutrino

Feynman and Gell-Mann: Theory of the Fermi Interaction

Weinberg: A model of leptons

Cabibbo: Unitary symmetry and leptonic decays

Kobayashi-Maskawa: CP violation in the renormalizable theory of weak interactions

Gross and Wilczek: Asymptotically free gauge theories

Nobel Prize Talks:

These are historically interesting and have talks on important topics spectacularly well written for the general audience by the originator of each discovery. Brilliant resource:

Last years Notes:    

In the spirit that more material is always useful, below are last year’s notes.
Feedback on the changes is welcome.  Substantives changes are to the derivation of Feynman rules, and the addition of more flavour physics and hadronic matrix elemnts.
