Welcome to FYS4555 - Particle Physics!

Welcome to the particle physics course starting week 34!

There will be no lecture the first week. To compensate, there will be 2 exercise sessions is on Wednesday AND Thursday. Oda K.B. Langrekken will be your group teacher.

Instead of the lecture on Tuesday I suggest that you read Chapters 1 (Introduction) and 2 (Underlying concepts) in Thomson's book "Modern Particle Physics". Alternatively (or in addition) you can go through the Handout 1 slides, which are accessible through Canvas. The exercises suggested for the 2 sessions on Wednesday and Tuesday can be found at the end of the slides.

Chapters 1,2,3 (summarised in Handout 1) are mostly repetitions on relativistic kinematics and quantum mechanics. 

Good luck

Looking forward to seeing you all Week 35!
