After successful completion of the course, students are able to apply athe path integral to quantum chromo dynamics, to formulate perturbation theory, to constitute and to give a detailed description of renormalisation and the fundamental phenomena of the strong ingeraction.

Non-perturbative phenomena and their treatment in lattice QCD
- Color confinement,
- chiral symmetry breaking

Perturbative treatment of QCD
- Feynman rules,
- regularisation and renormalisation.

Lecture where based on the corresponding script the subjects are presented; intensive discussions between students and lecturer are welcomed

The lecture is assigned to the diploma-degree program "Technische Physik (810)" as well as to the master-degree program "Technische Physik (066 461)".

oral exam at the end of the term or further along the line on appointment. Estimated duration: … 30 minutes
