Objectives
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE OBJECTIVES OF THE LECTURES ARE TO TRACE FOR STUDENTS A PATH FOR UNDERSTANDING AND APPLY, IN A CRITICAL WAY, ALL NOTIONS INHERENT TO THE FUNDAMENTAL THEORETICAL PHYSICS. THIS TARGET WILL BE ALSO SUPPORTED BY DIDACTIC MATERIALS.

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
THE AIM IS TO INTRODUCE THE STUDENTS IN NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ACADEMIC CONTEXT, AS WELL AS TO PROVIDE THE POSSIBILITY TO COLLABORATE IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS, FOR EXAMPLE THE INDUSTRY.
Prerequisites
KNOWLEDGE OF BASIC MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS AND PHYSICS ACQUIRED DURING THE THREE-YEAR BACHELOR'S DEGREE IS REQUIRED.
Contents
THE LECTURE AIMS PROVIDE THE BASIC NOTIONS OF THEORETICAL PHYSICS, ALLOWING STUDENTS TO ACQUIRE A SOLID GROUND FOR THE SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES. THE TOPICS FACED DURING THE LECTURES ARE:

PATH INTEGRAL FORMULATION OF QUANTUM MECHANICS (8 H).

SCATTERING IN QUANTUM MECHANICS (6 H).

RELATIVISTIC WAVE EQUATIONS (KLEIN GORDON AND DIRAC EQUATIONS) (8 H).

NON-RELATIVISTIC LIMIT OF THE DIRAC EQUATION. (8 H)

SPIN OF PARTICLES. GYROMAGNETIC FACTOR OF THE ELECTRON. (8 H)

INTRODUCTION TO QUANTIZED FIELDS (8 H)

ABELIAN GAUGE THEORIES (4 H).

SCATTERING MATRIX AND PERTURBATIVE THEORIES (10 H)

QUANTUM ELECTRODYNAMICS AND ELEMENTARY PROCESSES (12 H).

APPLICATIONS (6 H)
Teaching Methods
ATTENDING TO THE COURSE IS RECOMMENDED. DIRECT LECTURES WITH APPLICATIONS AND EXERCISES ON TOPIC RELATED WITH THE CONTENTS OF THE COURSE. THE AIM IS TO PROVIDE FUNDAMENTAL NOTIONS OF PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS AIMED TO DESCRIBE NEW PHYSICS PHENOMENA AND COLLABORATE WITH OTHER RESEARCHERS. THE MAIN TOPICS OF THE LECTURES CAN BE DIVIDED IN THREE PARTIES: PATH INTEGRAL FORMULATION OF QUANTUM MECHANICS (8 H); SCATTERING IN QUANTUM MECHANICS (6 H); RELATIVISTIC QUANTUM EQUATIONS (66 H)
Verification of learning
ORAL EXAMINATION TO VERIFY THAT STUDENTS UNDERSTOOD THE ARGUMENTS OF THE LECTURES. THE STUDENT MUST BE ABLE TO EXPOSE IN CLEAR AND SYNTETIC MANNER THE ARGUMENTS OF THE LECTURES AND TO FORMULATE AUTONOMOUS JUDGEMENTS.
THE FINAL MARKS MAY VARY FROM A MINIMUM TO A MAXIMUM.
THE MINIMUM EVALUATION LEVEL (18/30) IS ASSIGNED IF THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES REASONABLE CLARITY IN THE EXPOSITION AND SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE MAIN TOPICS OF THE PROGRAM. ON THE CONTRARY, THE MAXIMUM MARK (30/30 OR 30 CUM LODE) IS ALLOWED IN THE CASE IN WHICH STUDENTS CAN DISCUSS THE ARGUMENTS OF THE PROGRAM IN A DEEP AND CLEAR WAY, WITH THE CAPABILITY TO SOLVE ADVANCED PROBLEMS.
THE EXAM DURATION IS 1,5 H
