About this book

Electroweak and Strong Interaction: An Introduction to Theoretical Particle Physics begins with relativistic quantum mechanics, which lays the foundation for the rest of the text. The phenomenology and the physics of fundamental interactions are emphasized through a detailed discussion of the empirical fundamentals of unified theories of strong, electromagnetic, and weak interactions. The principles of local gauge theories are described. The minimal standard model of the fundamental interactions is developed and characteristic applications are worked out. Possible signals of physics beyond that model and the theory of interactions of elementary particles probing complex nuclei are also discussed. Numerous exercises with solutions make the text suitable for advanced courses.

Reviews

"I very much enjoyed reading this book because great care has gone into its preparation ... The author has achieved a good balance between the presentation of mathematical material and its use in the description of physical phenomena." (Physics Today)
