Physics 225, Outlines, Assignments

• Fifth Week (11/1/99-11/5/99)
  • Monday's lecture will be on statistics.
  • There will be no Wednesday lecture.
  • There will be a Friday lecture!!!
• Fourth Week (10/25/99-10/29/99)
  • On Monday we discussed neutrino oscillation experiments that have positive results; then we started a little hadron physics, to understand how (at least muon) neutrino beams are made.
  • Wednesday's lecture was on hadrons, kinematics, and perhaps a little statistics.
  • Problems. Due on Friday, 11/5 in class, or to Sean Fraser.
• Third Week (10/18/99-10/22/99)
  • We'll finish up the heuristic discussion of neutrino/quark oscillations, and then do some massive-field phenomenology. Then, a minimum of hadron physics. Next week: we really start reviewing actual (historic) experiments.
  • Remember... next Monday, submit a 1 paragraph proposal for your 20-minute talk.
• Second Week (10/11/99-10/15/99)
  • We are just at the begining of the second lecture handed out last week. I'll had another lecture out Monday 10/11, and then assign new problems on Wednesday, 10/13.
  • Problems. Due on Wednesday, 10/20 in class, or to Sean Fraser.
  • 1999 Nobel Prize in Physics. Background, by Cecilia Jarlskog (postscript).
• First Week (10/4/99-10/8/99)
  • Topics are overviews of the structure of matter, and the Standard Model.
  • Problems. Due on Monday, 10/11 in class, or to Sean Fraser.
