2016
This year we will use the second edition of Brian Martin's book.
The previous edition was rather out of date. This printing of the second edition is from 2012. It just predates the discovery of the Higgs.
I think that this is an excellent book. I will try to reorganize the course around it.
This course is an
introduction to subatomic (nuclear and particle)
physics

Problem Sets Out (In)
20 Jan (3 Feb), 3 Feb (22 Feb), 22 Feb (9 Mar), 9 Mar (23 Mar), 23 Mar (6 April)
Late penalty: 1% per working day; not
accepted more than 1 lecture late, unless special arrangment negotiated with me.
Midterm: Wednesday, 24 Feb This
will be a Quiz with some simple calculations. The time is too short for a real
test. My experience is that a real test in this short time just upsets people
(me included) [50 minutes long; calculator recommended, NO AID SHEETS ALLOWED.]
Final Exam: 3 hours long;
calculator recommended and ONE handwritten (not copied) letter-sized
double-sided aid sheet allowed.
