2. Natural system of units, history of the field

3. Main kinematic definitions and relations

4. Cross section and it's calculation in classical physics

5. Sketch of the quantum theory structure, matrix elements and cross sections in quantum theory

6. Relativistic calibration quantum field theory, Feynmann diagrams, renormalization, calibration symmetry, Higgs mechanism

7. Standard model - quantum electrodynamics, Glashow-Weinberg-Salam theory of electroweak interactions, quantum chromodynamics
