9. Course learning outcomes
- Understanding of basicBasic concepts and methods of quantum field theory including. These include: quantisation of free scalar and fermion fields, scattering amplitudes and cross sections, elements of and development of perturbation theory for interacting theories; examples of scattering processes in quantum electrodynamics; analysis of radiative corrections, regularisation and Yukawa modelrenormalisation methods; path integral methods.
10. Course completion methods
ClassThe attendancecourse is completed strongly encouraged. Homework is assigned once a week and contributes 25% to the final grade, while the final exam contributes 75%. There are bonus points for in-class activitiesby weekly exercises which are solved partly in class and partly submitted for assessment. Class attendance is strongly encouraged and will contribute towards the grade. The details of grading are explained on the first lecture.
11. Prerequisites
Quantum Mechanics IIA,IIB IIa and IIb are recommended; Mathematical Methods in Physics II.
