Physique des hautes énergies

This is the follow-up couse to the quantum field theory class of the first semester. Topics we will cover include non-abelian gauge symmetry, spontaneous symmetry breaking, and the Higgs mechanism, all needed to understand the inner workings of the Standard Model, which we shall discuss in some detail.

This is an introductory course presenting the basics of the AdS/CFT duality. On the way, it will present some interesting physical concepts which are worth being acquainted wth,  independently of anti-de Sitter or string theory, such as for example aspects of: confromal filed theories in d>2, the renormalization group, non-abelian gauge theories,  the large-N limit, black hole thermodynamics, semiclassical gravity. 

Une introduction au Modèle Standard de la physique des particules, couvrant ses particules fondamentales et leurs interactions.
