Strong Interactions (Effective Field Theories of QCD): Course Description

Professor Iain Stewart taught the original 'Strong Interactions: Effective Field Theories of QCD' in MIT's Physics Department. This course introduces distinctive 'effective theories', which are the preferred modern method for making predictions using the Standard Model. More specifically, the course covers topics, including renormalization, power counting, electroweak physics and CP violation. The original course adopted a lecture format.

'Strong Interaction: Effective Field Theories of QCD' OpenCourseWare includes lecture notes, as well as access to problem sets, a course reading list and suggested project topics. To learn more about this topic, please visit the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) 'effective field theories' course page.
