We make an overview of some recent topics of atomic physics that probe the Standard Model of particle physics as related to small tabletop experiments and accelerator-based experiments. A simple and intuitive overview of the theoretical background of the Standard Model related to these experiments are provided during the first 2/3 of the semester. We will cover the fundamental symmetries, weak interaction, electroweak theory, Higgs mechanism, CP violation. During the first few lectures, we will review the material regarding relativistic quantum mechanics covered in Modern hadron and atomic physics I in the previous semester. The lecture assumes some basic undergraduate-level knowledge of quantum mechanics.
The lectures will be provided online using Zoom. If you have questions, please e-mail: Masaki.Hori@mpq.mpg.de. If you would like to participate, please register and you will recieve the password to the Zoom session.
