Summer School on the Standard Model of Particle Physics

Third Edition

Mathematical Formulation of the Standard Model 

May 2 - 6, 2026

Virtual Zoom

The School will provide introductory-level lectures focused on the constructive approach to the Standard Model, emphasizing the underlying mathematical Lagrangian formulation. This program is designed to be highly beneficial for Undergraduate, Postgraduate, and beginner PhD students intending to pursue research in theoretical particle physics, and will also be useful for those intending to pursue research in experimental particle physics seeking a deeper understanding of the Standard Model.

Students also have opportunity for a presentation on particle physics.  

Topics will be covered in the school:

• 4-Vectors

• Lagrangian and Fields

• Gauge Invariance

• QED Lagrangian

• Gauge Structure of the Standard Model: Groups, Generators, Couplings, and Gauge Fields 

• Glashow-Weinberg-Salam Model

• Electroweak Lagrangian

• Higgs Mechanism

• Fermion Masses

• QCD Lagrangian

• Standard Model Lagrangian

• Student Presentations 

About the Speaker: Ibrahim Mirza earned PhD in experimental elementary particle physics from The University of Tennessee Knoxville, United States. He worked on a neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment-LEGEND-1000. Ibrahim conducted his research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. His work involves vacuum technology, developing low-radioactivity materials, 3D-printing, detector simulation, gamma-ray spectroscopy and data analysis. Dr. Ibrahim Mirza is the founder and organizer of various summer and winter schools and conferences. He teaches courses on quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, and the Standard Model of particle physics.
