Lesson 3. Cross sections. Feynmann diagrams. Fermi’s Golden rule.

Students should be able to:

Draw simple Feynmann diagrams for particle interactions
Check Feynman diagrams for validity regarding basic conservation laws
Calculate particle momenta in Feynman diagrams based conservation law in vertex
Explain Fermi’s golden rule and the relation between calculated amplitudes and measured cross sections

Warmup your students: ask activating questions at the beginning and at the end of the lesson
