Exercises Lecture 1: Special Relativity 2 Relativistic momentum Given 4-vector calculus, we know that p µ p µ = E 2 /c 2 − ⃗ p 2 = m 2 0 c 2 . a) Show that you get in trouble when you use E = mc 2 and ⃗ p = m ⃗ v . b) Show that E = γ m 0 c 2 and ⃗ p 2 = m 2 v obey E 2 /c 2 − ⃗ 0 c 2 . p = γ m 0 ⃗ a) Using E = mc 2 and ⃗ p = m ⃗ v , one finds: p 2 = m 2 c 2 − m 2 v 2 = m 2 ( c 2 − v 2 ) ̸ = m 2 c 2 E 2 /c 2 − ⃗ b) Using E = γ m 0 c 2 and ⃗ p = γ m 0 ⃗ v , one finds: p 2 = γ 2 ( m 2 ( c 2 − v 2 )) = m 2 c 2 1 − v 2 /c 2 E 2 /c 2 − ⃗ 1 − v 2 /c 2 = m 2 c 2 .

Lecture 1: Standard Model & Relativity • Standard Model Lagrangian • Standard Model Particles Niels Tuning (13)

Lecture 1: Standard Model & Relativity • Theory of relativity – Lorentz transformations (“boost”) – Calculate energy in colissions • 4-vector calculus • High energies needed to make (new) particles Niels Tuning (14)

Outline for today • Quantum mechanics: equations of motions of wave functions – Schrodinger, Klein Gordon, Dirac • Forces – Strong force, pion exchange – Weak nuclear force, decay • Scattering Theory – Rutherford (classic) and QM – “Cross section” – Coulomb potential – Yukawa potential – Resonances Niels Tuning (15)

D. Griffiths “Introduction to Elementary Particles” • Lecture 1: – ch.3 Relativistic kinematics • Lecture 2: ch.5.1 Schrodinger equation – – ch.7.1 Dirac equation – ch.6.5 Scattering • Lecture 3: – ch.1.7 Quarkmodel – ch.4 Symmetry/spin • Lecture 4: – ch.7.4 QED – ch 11.3 Gauge theories • Lecture 5: – ch.8.2 e+e- – ch.8.5 e+p • Lecture 6: – ch.11.8 Higgs mechanism Niels Tuning (16)

Lecture 2: QM, Dirac and Scattering • Introduce “matter particles” – spinor ψ from Dirac equation • Introduce “force particles” • Introduce basic concepts of scattering processes Niels Tuning (17)

Quantum mechanics

From classic to quantum Why does the black body Why does the electron not spectrum look like it does? fall onto the nucleus? � Finite number of wavelengths ( E=h ν ) � Finite number of nuclear orbits • The wavefunction ψ describes a system (eg. particle) • Physical quantities are given by operators Niels Tuning (19)

Wavefunction Each particle may be described by a wave function ψ ( x,y,z,t ), real or complex, having a single value for a given position ( x,y,z ) and time t • In QM a particle is not localized • Probability of finding a particle somewhere in a volume V of space: 2 P ( r , t ) dV ( r , t ) dV = Ψ • Probability to find particle 2 ( r , t ) dV 1 anywhere in space = 1 ∫ Ψ = Ø condition of normalization: all space Niels Tuning (20)

Operator Any physical quantity is associated with an operator § An operator O: the “ recipe ” to transform ψ into ψ ’ – We write: O ψ = ψ ’ • If O ψ = o ψ then – ψ is an eigenfunction of O and – o is the eigenvalue. We have “ solved ” the wave equation O ψ = o ψ by finding simultaneously ψ and o that satisfy the equation. Ø o is the measure of O for the particle in the state described by ψ Niels Tuning (21)

Correspondence? • What operator belongs to which physical quantity? Classical quantity QM operator E kin Niels Tuning (22)

Example Let ’ s try operating: • Wavefunction: ikx t ( ) ( x , t ) A cos[ kx t ] i sin[ kx t ] Ae − ω Ψ = − ω + − ω = • Momentum operator : � � ∂ i ( kx t ) i ( kx t ) i ( kx t ) ˆ p ( x , t ) Ae ikAe � kAe � k ( x , t ) − ω − ω − ω Ψ = = = = Ψ x i x i ∂ • Or energy operator: ∂ ˆ i ( kx t ) i ( kx t ) i ( kx t ) ( ) � � � ( ) E x , t i Ae − ω i ( i ) Ae − ω Ae − ω E x , t Ψ = = − ω = ω = Ψ t ∂ Ø Ψ is indeed eigenfunction ( ђ k and ђω are the eigenvalues for ˆ p and ˆ E) Niels Tuning (23)

Expectation value Average value of physical quantity: expectation value Think of the Staatsloterij: x : prize i p ( x ) : probabilit y to win that prize i E ( X ) x p ( x ) 0 . 697 13 . 50 9 . 41 EUR = ∑ = × = + ∞ i i [ ] ˆ * i W ( x , t ) W ( x , t ) dx ∫ = Ψ Ψ − ∞ + ∞ + ∞ [ ] [ * ] 2 ikx ikx ikx ( x ) Ae with ( x ) dx Ae Ae dx 1 , ψ = ∫ ψ = ∫ = Example: − ∞ − ∞ where A 0 as limits of integratio n → → ∞ + ∞ � ∂ ⎡ ⎤ [ ] * ikx ikx p Ae Ae dx = ∫ ⎢ ⎥ i x ∂ ⎣ ⎦ − ∞ + ∞ � + ∞ [ ] * [ ] [ ] [ * ] ikx ikx ikx ikx p Ae ik Ae dx � k Ae Ae dx � k p = ∫ = ∫ = = i − ∞ − ∞ ≡ 1 Niels Tuning (24)

Heisenberg How to describe a particle that is “ localized ” somewhere, but which is also “ wave-like ” ? ikx Ae ψ = Ø k can be any value: Ø Fourier decomposition of many frequencies Ø The more frequencies you add, the more it gets localized Ø The worse you know p, the better you know x !

Heisenberg • Uncertainty relation à Commutation relation Ø A wave function cannot be simultaneously an eigenstate of position and momentum • Suppose it was , what then?? Ø Then the operators would commute: ( ) ( ) ( ) P X XP P x Xp x p x p 0 − Ψ = − Ψ = − Ψ = x x x 0 0 0 0 0 0 Niels Tuning (28)
