Physics 8810: Particle Physics
Fall 2007
MWF 12:50-1:45 177 Physics

Professor: David Cinabro(333 Physics, 313-577-2918, cinabro@physics.wayne.edu, http://motor1.physics.wayne.edu/cinabro.html) 
Office Hours: 9:30-10:30 Tuesday and Thursday or by appointment 
Texts: Quarks and Leptons by Halzen and Martin
Particle Data Book. Available for free from the Particle Data Group
Homework(66%)
Weekly homework assignments. One or two problems from each class. All those assigned in one week are due the following Wednesday.
Presentations(34%)
Student presentations of topics in current particle physics research. Ideally these will be tailored to the students research interests. Two days will be spent on each of these topics with the student giving a presentation either at the beginning or end.
Final
Scheduled for Wednesday 19 December, 10:40-13:10. We will skip this, with the student presentation acting as a final.
