- The Standard Model in particle physics (the zoo of fundamental particles, electroweak unified theory, and Higgs mechanism)
- Particle physics at colliders (particularly at the Large Hadron Collider)
- The interplay between particle physics and cosmology
It aims at enabling students to catch up the progress in particle physics in a timely way, and appreciate the beauty of fundamental rules in nature.
