2nd half of semester, course #52661, lecture with exercises.
Class meetings: WS23/24, Tu/Th/Fr 16:30-18:00, PHY 5.1.34A. Dates are tentative, please let me know if these times do not work for you. First meeting: Friday, 1.12.2023, 16:30.

Goals:

Participants will be able to calculate scattering amplitudes in perturbative quantum field theory, evaluate Feynman diagrams, solve loop integrals, and employ computer algebraic methods and specialized software for these tasks. Prerequisite: an introductory course in quantum field theory.
