Basic Information
Exotic Atoms Are Bound Systems in Which One Or More of The Particles Is Exotic. Precision Measurements in These System Allow to Remove Or Amplify Certain Effect (e.g. Nuclear, Weak Or Electromagnetic Physics) in Comparison With Ordinary Systems Such As The Hydrogen Atom. in This Course We Will Present The Standard Model, and Some Of Its Open Problems and Questions. We Will Focus On The Precision Frontier, Which Is One of The Three Frontiers in Which These Questions Are Tackled (the Others Are High Energy, and Cosmology). We We Will Focus On Simple Atomic Systems, Energy Levels in Hydrogenic Atoms, The Schr-dinger and Dirac Equations, The Fine and Hyperfine Structure. We Will Also Cover Quantum and Nuclear Effects. Subsequently, Each Student Will Give a Short Presentation On Ongoing Reseach in Exotic Systems Such As# Positronium, Muonium, Anti-hydrogen, Etc. Learning Outcomes# at The End of The Course The Students Will Be Able To# 1. Calculate The Energy Levels of Various Bound Systems Under Different Approximations, and Compare With Experiment. 2. Explain The Motivation Behind Precision Measurements in Simple Ordinary and Exotic Atoms._ 3. Get to Know The Ongoing Research in Exotic Atoms.
