FYSS4515 Kvanttikentt盲teorian sovellukset (11 op)
Osaamistavoitteet
At the end of this course, students will understand fully the content of the renormalization program and be able to apply renormalization methods to compute higher order corrections to scattering processes and to study the scale dependence of couplings. Students will be able to understand the particular features of renormalization of Yang-Mills gauge theories and be able to compute critical exponents using field theory methods. They will understand the meaning of the effective action and effective potential and knows how to compute quantum corrections to them. They will be able to fully undestand the structure and quantization of the standard model of electroweak interactions and know how to compute precision electroweak observables. They will undestand how chiral and ABJ-anomalies arise and what they mean for renormalizability.
