  Password: LHC). Phone and Skype and (Phone Bridge ID: 12 3491\, Passwor
 d: 7818). Required background\nAttendees are expected to have followed a 
 basic course on particle physics and/or to be familiar with the following 
 topics:\n		Basic concepts Elementary constituents of matter and interactio
 ns. Quantum numbers and conservation rules. Spin and symmetry groups. Rela
 tivistic kinematics. Cross-section. Natural units. Mass and lifetime. Reso
 nances.\n	\n		Structure of matter Elastic scattering and form factors. Ine
 lastic scattering experiments. Nucleon structure functions. Scale invarian
 ce. Quark model. Parton distribution functions. Introduction to QCD.\n	\n	
 	Fundamental interactions Introduction to QED. Fermi interaction. Parity v
 iolation. Currents V-A and weak doblets. W and Z bosons. Cabibbo angle. Ne
 utral currents. Electroweak interaction. Gauge symmetries. The Higgs mecha
 nism. Weinberg-Salam model. CP violation.\n\nStudents are recommended to r
 efresh their knowledge in particle physics prior to the Course. Suggested 
 bibliography:\n\n		F. Halzen and A.D.Martin\, ' Quarks and Leptons '\, Joh
 n Wiley and Sons (1984)\n	\n		D. Griffiths\, ' Introduction to Elementary 
 Particles '\, John Wiley and Sons (1987)\n	\n		B.R.Martin\, G. Shaw\, ' Pa
 rticle Physics '\, John Wiley and Sons (1999)\nRegistration\nThe registrat
 ion for the Course is open until 27th January. Due to space conditions the
  number of registrations will be limited. Applications should include a sh
 ort CV specifying academic degrees\, list of attended courses and marks. R
 egistration should be done on the web address www.idpasc.lip.pt/LIP/events
 /2012_lhc_physicsCertificate\nA certificate will be delivered after the Co
 urse upon regular attendance and successful final examination.\n	The conte
 nt of the Course may be updated as a result of possible discoveries at LHC
  during the Course duration.\n	Short link to this page.\n\nhttp://indico.c
