1FY805 (Solid State I and particle physics)

Kursplanen - Course syllabus
This course will be given in English and Swedish on the Växjö campus. Live netcasts of the lectures will be here (open at least a quarter before the lecture). Recordings of these netcasts will also be linked below. And there is a blog.
