Concepts of elementary particle physics
Peskin, Michael E.
Concepts of elementary particle physics - Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2019. - xii, 380p.; pbk; 25cm. - Oxford master series in particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. .
Includes figure permissions, epilogue, references and index.
This is a textbook of elementary particle physics whose goal is to explain the Standard Model of particle interactions. Part I introduces the basic concepts governing high-energy particle physics: elements of relativity and quantum field theory, the quark model of hadrons, methods for detection and measurement of elementary particles, methods for calculating predictions for observable quantitites. Part II builds up our understanding of the strong interaction from the key experiments to the formulation of Quantum Chromodynamics and its application to the description of evetns at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Part III build up our understanding of the weak interaction from the key experiments to the formulation of spontaneously broken gauge theories. It then describes the tests and extensions of this theory, including the precision study of the W and Z bosons, CP violation, neutrino mass, and the Higgs boson.
