Course description and aims
Resonance phenomena commonly appear in various fields in physics. In particular, most of hadronic particles should be treated as resonances, because they are unstable against the strong decay. These lectures introduces the basic concepts of resonance physics. We then discuss the techniques to study the structure of resonances, aiming at the applications in hadron physics. The topics include: resonances in quantum mechanics, resonances in scattering theory, theory of Feshbach resonances, effective field theories, and compositeness of resonances.
Student learning outcomes
The aim of this lecture is to learn basic resonance phenomena and its importance in hadron physics. Scattering theory, theory of Feshbach resonances, and nonrelativistic effective field theory are learned as theoretical frameworks to describe resonances.
Keywords

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
