Description

This book is written for students and scientists wanting to learn about the Standard Model of particle physics. Only an introductory course knowledge about quantum theory is needed. The text provides a pedagogical description of the theory, and incorporates the recent Higgs boson and top quark discoveries. With its clear and engaging style, this new edition retains its essential simplicity. Long and detailed calculations are replaced by simple approximate ones. It includes introductions to accelerators, colliders, and detectors, and several…

Key features

  • Presents the Standard Method in a deductive rather than a historical approach, allowing people with some physics training but with little interest in working in particle physics to understand this new success of modern science
  • The qualitatively and conceptually solid derivations presented in this book are sufficient to understand the power of the theory, while avoiding the off-putting complexity
  • Explains calculations that demonstrate how well the theory is tested, as well as the Higgs boson discovery and its implications
