Synopsis
"Gauge Theory of Weak Interactions" treats the unification of electromagnetic and weak interactions, and considers related phenomena. First, the theory of beta decay is presented, followed by a discussion of parity violation, clarifying the importance of symmetries. After all necessary mathematical tools have been developed, the concept of a gauge theory is introduced. The standard model of weak interactions is thoroughly discussed as well as current problems such as the solar-neutrino problem. Finally, a glimpse is given of a possible Grand Unified Theory. Numerous worked examples and problems make this a unique text for an advanced course on gauge theories in particle physics.

From the Back Cover
Gauge Theory of Weak Interactions treats the unification of electromagnetic and weak interactions and considers related phenomena. First, the Fermi theory of beta decay is presented, followed by a discussion of parity violation, clarifying the importance of symmetries. Then the concept of a spontaneously broken gauge theory is introduced, and all necessary mathematical tools are carefully developed. The "standard model" of unified electroweak interactions is thoroughly discussed including current developments. The final chapter contains an introduction to unified theories of strong and electroweak interactions. Numerous solved examples and problems make this volume uniquely suited as a text for an advanced course. This fourth edition has been carefully revised.
