Lectures in Symmetries and Conservation Laws
University of London (Brunel, Queen Mary, Royal Holloway and UCL)
Lecture notes
Each lecture covers nominally 2 hours - but see below for 2017 series.
The notes are made available as pdf - you should print these off before the corresponding lecture.
- Preamble
- Lecture 1: Introduction
- Lecture 2: Groups
- Lecture 3: SU(2),
Clebsch Gordon coeffs
- Lecture 4: SU(3)
- Lecture 5: Hadrons States and Consequences of Group Theory
- Problem Class
In 2017, we will intersperse the Lectures with a chance to look over the Homework together.
To enable this, there will be 7 slots, and the 5 Lectures will be spread across the first 6 slots,
with the last slot allocated to a Problem Class.
The plan for the slots is complicated!
Homework
If you have any questions or problems, do not hesitate to contact me.
