Problem sessions:

• Session 1:

  The Noether charges of a complex SU(2) scalar field and discussion of conserved charges in relation to the Coleman-Mandula theorem.

  SU(2), Coleman-Mandula

• Session 2:

  The energy, momentum and angular momentum of the Dirac field.

  Dirac field

Session 3,4,5: (aka Funday Monday)

Muon production and the Z-resonance in electron-positron collisions. Also a derivation of the massless and massive vector boson propagators using the Optical theorem and Ward identities. Discussion on the latest limits on the Higgs and explaining how to interpret the plots, see http://www.atlas.ch/news/2011/simplified-plots.html. Potentially more to come tonight!

Muon-production, Z-resonance, Vector boson propagators, Higgs results: Atlas, Higgs results: CMS.

• Session 6:

  Helicity decomposition and forward-backward asymmetry in Z-boson production.

  Helicity amplitudes, Forward-Backward
