Synopsis
Particle Physics, Second Edition is a concise and lucid account of the fundamental constituents of matter. The standard model of particle physics is developed carefully and systematically, without heavy mathematical formalism, to make this stimulating subject accessible to undergraduate students. Throughout, the emphasis is on the interpretation of experimental data in terms of the basic properties of quarks and leptons, and extensive use is made of symmetry principles and Feynman diagrams, which are introduced early in the book. The Second Edition brings the book fully up to date, including the discovery of the top quark and the search for the Higgs boson. A final short chapter is devoted to the continuing search for new physics beyond the standard model. Particle Physics, Second Edition features:
∗ A carefully structured and written text to help students understand this exciting and demanding subject.
∗ Many worked examples and problems to aid student learning. Hints for solving the problems are given in an Appendix.
∗ Optional "starred" sections and appendices, containing more specialised and advanced material for the more ambitious reader.
