  3. Kinematics s channel and t channel The Standard Model of Particle Physics: Overview Cross section and total width Description of an unstable particle The Course Philosophy Emphasis of the course is on the phenomenology We will discuss experimental aspects but more important is the interpretation of measurements In an ideal world: construct theory and apply it Real (course) world: theory and application in parallel Build the theory knowledge to put the experiments into perspective Natural units: � = c = 1 → � c = 197 . 3 MeV · fm Dirk Zerwas Particle Physics: The Standard Model
