Abstract

In this lecture, symmetry and conservation law are applied to derive wave functions for elementary particles. Relativistic wave functions are analysed and applied for massive and massless particles. Different ideas on antiparticles are explored.

Objective

Present the basic and common notions needed for describing atomic, nuclear and elementary particle physics.

Content

- Introduction to general concepts commonly used in atomic, nuclear and elementary particle physics. - Symmetry principles. - Description of forces. - Scaler, spinor and vector field - Relativic wave function
