Canonical Quantization of QFT
·
Module 9
Electroweak and Strong Interaction Phenomenology
1
Electroweak Lagrangian: Leptons & Quarks
Derive the charged and neutral current interaction Lagrangians for leptons and quarks from the broken electroweak theory.
2
W Boson Leptonic Decay Rate Calculation
Calculate the decay rate of the W boson into a lepton-neutrino pair at tree level.
3
Neutrino-Electron Scattering: Z Boson Mediated Cross-Section
Calculate the tree-level cross-section for neutrino-electron scattering mediated by the Z boson.
4
Deep Inelastic Scattering: Kinematics and Hadronic Structure
Define the kinematics of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) and the role of hadronic structure functions.
5
Calculating Structure Functions in the Naive Parton Model
Use the naive parton model to calculate the structure functions for electron-proton scattering.
6
The Callan-Gross Relation and Spin-1/2 Partons
Derive the Callan-Gross relation and explain its interpretation as evidence for spin-1/2 partons (quarks).
7
Quark Confinement and Strong-Coupling QCD
Describe the concept of quark confinement and its relation to the strong-coupling regime of QCD.
8
QCD Factorization and Hadronic Cross-Sections
Explain the factorization theorem in QCD and its application to calculating hadronic cross-sections.
