This textbook teaches particle physics very didactically. It
supports learning and teaching with numerous worked examples,
questions and problems with answers. Numerous tables and diagrams
lead to a better understanding of the explanations. The content of
the book covers all important topics of particle physics:
Elementary particles are classified from the point of view of the
four fundamental interactions. The nomenclature used in particle
physics is explained. The discoveries and properties of known
elementary particles and resonances are given. The particles
considered are positrons, muon, pions, anti-protons, strange
particles, neutrino and hadrons. The conservation laws governing
the interactions of elementary particles are given. The concepts of
parity, spin, charge conjugation, time reversal and gauge
invariance are explained. The quark theory is introduced to explain
the hadron structure and strong interactions. The solar neutrino
problem is considered. Weak interactions are classified into
various types, and the selection rules are stated. Non-conservation
of parity and the universality of the weak interactions are
discussed. Neutral and charged currents, discovery of W and Z
bosons and the early universe form important topics of the
electroweak interactions. The principles of high energy
accelerators including colliders are elaborately explained.
Additionally, in the book detectors used in nuclear and particle
physics are described. This book is on the upper undergraduate
level.
