The nuclear two-body problem, nuclear structure, nuclear models. A continuation of Physics 632, dealing with non-abelian gauge theories. The Department solicits student input to choose the topics. I This course is intended to be an introductory graduate course on the physics of solids, crystals and liquid crystals. There will be a strong emphasis on the use and application of broken and unbroken symmetries in condensed matter physics.
Topics covered include superconductivity and superfluidity.
A continuation of PHYS 661. Intended to bring students to the level of current research in elementary particle physics. Functional techniques, including functional integration and determinants. Landau theory of phase transitions and critical phenomena. The epsilon expansion.
