Introduction to Elementary Particle Physics, part 1
Tentative course description for 2023 and exercises and homeworks.
There is a very short review about the lectures dealing with Feynman diagrams and a
summary page for calculating in special relativity.
These slides were used for the first, second, third, and fourth lecture about special relativity.
The theoretical description of symmetries is a supplement to the general discussions in Symmetries I and Symmetries II.
A short literature list: Literature-WoP
Introductory text for Special Relativity: the lecture notes by David Hogg: sr
Introductory text for the mathematical formalism: sr4wop

Dear Elena,
these are particle physics exercises, mostly from the book “Introduction to Elementary Particles” by David Griffiths, ISBN: 978-3-527-40601-2.
I really recommend this book: maybe you can find it in the library of the university … or even on the internet (though the “free” copies are probably illegal by copyright).
I will gladly help you with solutions, but I will not post them on the internet.
Dear Mr. Gajdosik,
I am Elena and I am a student of Physics in Spain. Looking for particle physics exercises on the internet I came across a homework sheet that has the type of exercises I am looking for (http://web.vu.lt/ff/t.gajdosik/files/2019/02/HW-2019_v2.pdf). It seems it belongs to you. I was wondering if it would be possible to access to the solutions of those exercises someway. It would be tremendously useful for me, as I am doing the course of particle physics in my university and these exercises seem to be very didactic.
Thank you very much in advance!
