The lecture notes will be posted here after the corresponding lectures. Please note that the page and section numbering might change as the course advances, as well some typos might be get fixed.
Full text in one document: Lecture notes 2012 (pdf)
Divided by sections
Front matter: Table of contents (pdf)
End matter: Appendices (pdf), Bibliography and references (pdf)
Every 2nd week
The exam will be on Thu July 5th at 14:00 (in the usual class room HG03.054).
Try to use the latest lecture notes, as some of the typos have been corrected along the way. You'll get the note page back later for your adventures in SUSY. Exercises should be understood at the model solutions level (I mean specifically ex. 2.2).
Here some textbooks and lecture notes are listed. I find [BL94] and [Mar97] particularly useful. The book [DRG04] contains a thorough account of SUSY.
