Dear all,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In the fall we will start a reading course in supersymmetry mainly intended for PhD students in particle theory but in principle open for anyone. We will meet once per week for two hours and the content of these meetings will probably consist
of discussing a chapter in the course book that everyone has read beforehand and/or solving and discussing exercises and problems (we will decide on the format at the first meeting). The course will be handled by the participants themselves and each participant
will be responsible for leading the discussion one or several meetings (i.e. there will not be any lectures as in a usual course). </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class="">Course book: </b>Supersymmetry in Particle Physics, An Elementary Introduction by Ian Aitchison</div>
<div class="">This book is available as an e-book through the university library (link: <a href="http://libris.kb.se/bib/13045002" class="">http://libris.kb.se/bib/13045002</a> )</div>
<div class="">We will essentially go through the book from start to finish.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class="">Suggested prerequisites:</b> a course in quantum field theory</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class="">First meeting:</b> October 29, 13.15 in A5:0019 (one of the group rooms in the CoPS corridor).</div>
<div class="">During this meeting we will mainly discuss the format of the course.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We will continue for approximately <b class="">15 meetings</b>, which means that we will be done in the middle of the spring semester (first half of March). The preliminary plan is to meet Thursdays after lunch (13-15).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">It should be possible to get credits (hp) for this course - as far as I understand this is in principle up to your supervisor to decide. </div>

of how many will join. Feel free to send an e-mail if you have questions.</div>
