           The course is adressed to students which have already a basic knowledge of high energy physics. Participation
in the course Physik VI is certainly sufficient.  The basic concepts and the experimental foundation of the standard
model will be discussed as well as the basic limitations and ideas beyond it. The course should allow the student to
understand the program which is presently carried out in particle physics and to start reading current publications
or reviews in particle physics.
        We will also on the fly discuss current experiments and detectors.
 
 
 

          chapters:

1. introduction: what is fascinating about particle physics. Basic ingredients of the standard model.

 2. units, relativistic kinematics
