    5757   * Fermi effective field theory of weak interactions
    58       1 Consider the $ \pi \to \ell \nu_\ell $ decay. Calculate the decay rate in the case of a pseudoscalar current-current interaction. Determine the width for the decay of $\tau \to \pi \nu_\tau $ using as an input the experimental width of $\pi \to \ell \nu_\ell $.
    59       1 Consider the $\mu^- \to e^- {\bar \nu_{e}} \nu_\mu$. Calculate $|M|^2$ using the Fierz trick (problem 3.6 of [P&S]) to turn the matrix element squared into a single trace. Consider the decay of a polarized muon. Find the angular distribution of the outcoming electron.
    60       1 Calculate the scattering amplitude for $e^- + \nu_\mu \to \mu^- + \nu_e$.

    64       1 Calculate $W^+ W^- \to W^+ W^-$ scattering amplitude and its behaviour at high energy when the gauge symmetry is non-linearly realized (=massive W,Z but not Higgs).

    6666   * Higgs mechanism
    67       1 Calculate the scattering $H \gamma \to H \gamma$ in the Abelian Higgs model. Verify that the Goldstone boson contribution is equivalent to the propagation of a massive photon in the internal lines.
    68       1 Check that the Higgs contribution in $W^+ W^- \to W^+ W^-$ is exactly what is needed to cancel the bad behaviour at high energy.
