I. J. R. Aitchison

Abstract

This is a course of six lectures given at the 2003 European School of High-Energy Physics, Tsakhkadzor, Armenia, 24 August-6 September 2003.They aim to provide a compact introduction to quantum field theory (in the 'canonical' formalism) and the Standard Model, focusing on field quantization and the canonical route to the Feynman rules; Abelian symmetries and QED; oneloop renormalization of QED; non-Abelian symmetries; spontaneously broken symmetries; and the electroweak theory.
