The lecture series will address physicists, such as particle and nuclear physicists, familiar with non-relativistic quantum mechanics but not with solid state physics. The aim of this introduction to low temperature superconductivity is to give sufficient bases to the student for him/her to be able to access the scientific literature on this field. The five lectures will cover the following topics : 1. Normal metals, free electron gas, chambers equation.

2. Cooper pairs, the BCS ground state, quasi particle excitations.

3. DC superconductivity, Meissner state, dirty superconductors.

4. Self consistent approach, Ginsburg Landau equations, Abrikosov fluxon lattice.

5. Josephson effects, high temperature superconductivity..
