Education
Lecture #1 on 1 November 2016
All intrested are kindly invited to hear a course of lectures on Higgs boson physics «Higgs mechanism in the Standard Model and beyond». The 6 seminars of the lecture course will be held on 1-3 and 8-10 November 2016, from 10.00 am until 12.00 am in the Conference Hall of the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems.
Speaker: I.P. Ivanov (CFTP, Instituto Superior Tecnico, U. Lisboa)
Seminars topics, 1-3 November:
- Overview: electroweak theory and the role(s) of the Higgs mechanism. Hopes from bSM. Higgs mechanisms (insights into fermion properties, CP violation, FCNC). A very brief history.
- Abelian Higgs model: giving mass to the gauge boson; giving mass to the fermion, basic properties of the Higgs boson.
- Full electroweak theory and the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism:
- electroweak lagrangian before EWSB and symmetries,
- massive W and Z,
- the ρ-parameter and custodial symmetry,
- masses and mixing of fermions within SM,
- a brief outline of the SM Higgs boson properties.
