The Chiral Lagrangian - Lecture 1

Explore the foundations of effective field theories in particle physics through this lecture on The Chiral Lagrangian. Delve into the first part of Aneesh Manohar's presentation, which is part of the School for Advanced Topics in Particle Physics (SATPP) at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Gain insights into low-energy effective field theories and their applications in describing meson and baryon physics. Designed for postdoctoral fellows and advanced PhD students in theoretical particle physics, this lecture provides essential technical tools for critically analyzing and constructing effective field theories. Enhance your understanding of quantum field theory and the Standard Model of particle physics while exploring the systematic approach of using relevant degrees of freedom to describe physics at different scales.
