Description

This lecture covers the most important theoretical and experimental foundations of particle physics. Ongoing research activities are mentioned. The main chapters are:

-- Basics of particles physics
-- Quantum ElectroDynamics (QED): from Dirac equation to Drell-Yan cross-section
-- Weak interaction: from the discovery of parity violation to the CKM matrix
-- Electroweak: unification and experimental tests
-- Electroweak symmetry breaking and the Higgs mechanism: theory, discovery and measurements
-- An introduction to hadrons and Quantum ChromoDynamics (QCD)
-- Overview of data analysis in collider experiments
