Course Information
Last Updated (06/10/09)Graduate Lecture Slides:
Introduction to the principles of operation of Single Wire Drift Chambers.
ElectroMagnetic Fields and Waves Lecture Materials
(Year 2 E&M Part A) ← follow the link. (NOTE: After only one year of glory they kicked me out. But I'm going to leave this link up for those doing 2nd year EM just in case you want additional problem sets and some summary slides. You might find my notes on transmission lines useful if you can read my handwriting.)
Oxford Physics Course:
Everything important about the course is in:
Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics (2nd year and Theory Option in particular)
Alternate Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
4th Year Particle Physics Option
The Last Lectures of the Particle Physics Option
Lecture N: The Discovery of the Top Quark (PowerPoint)
Lecture N+1: The Top Quark Mass (Powerpoint, htm format the fonts do not work in all browsers for this one, sorry)
Lecture N: The Discovery of the Top Quark Lecture Notes (MS-word 97)
Lecture N+2: Beyond the Standard Model (PowerPoint, htm format)
The Quark Model of bound Hadronic States and Vicarious Excursions into Group Theory
(I no longer do these lectures, but those of you taking the course are welcome to look at these slides nonetheless.)Lecture Notes: (htm format)
Lecture 1 (PowerPoint) (PDF)
Lecture 2 (PowerPoint) (PDF)
These lectures do not have the complete sets of slides and notes that I show.
The full first two lectures are contained within this *.pdf file. (17MB)
Lecture 3 (htm) (PDF)
Lecture Notes (htm format) - might not work well with Netscape Browsers
Old lectures But they still have some good information,
...so I'll keep them around for a while.
Lecture 4 (PowerPoint: Part A Part B)
Lecture 5 (PowerPoint)
Lecture 6 (PowerPoint) ....but because they are old they aren't in *.pdf format.CDF Trigger Lecture (htm slide show) Warning! Slide Show could run slow!
Another Warning! This might not work on Netscape Browsers!
