The [course_title] course is devoted to the construction and application of effective field theories. These theories are used to make predictions on the Standard Model. Topics covered in the course are matching, renormalisation, the operator product expansion, power counting, and running with the renormalisation, etc. You will learn factorisation in hard processes relevant for the LHC, heavy quark decays and CP violation, and chiral perturbation theory. Emphasis will be given on the concepts such as non-relativistic bound states in field theory (QED and QCD), nucleon effective theories with a fine-tuning, and possibly other subjects from QCD, electroweak physics, and gravity.

Assessment

This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
