High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
2007-05-23 v2 High Energy Physics - Lattice
Abstract
These lectures review phases and phase transitions of the Standard Model, with emphasis on those aspects which are amenable to a first principle study. Model calculations and theoretical ideas of practical applicability are discussed as well. Contents: 1.Overview; 2. Field Theory at Finite Temperature and Density; 3.Critical Phenomena; 4.Electroweak Interactions at Finite Temperature; 5. Thermodynamics of Four Fermions models; 6.The Phases of QCD; 7.QCD at Finite Temperature, ; 8.QCD at Finite Temperature, .
