This lecture provides a deeper introduction into particle and astroparticle physics, based on the knowledge obtained in EP-5.

Lecture contents:

1. Recall of particle physics
2. Covariant description of relativistic particles
3. Electrodynamics of spinless particles
4. Particles with spin 1/2: the Dirac equation
5. QED with spin-1/2 particles
6. The Weak Interaction
7. Neutral weak currents and electroweak unification
8. Gauge symmetries and Higgs mechanism
