An Introduction to Gauge Theories and Modern Particle Physics (Paperback, New)

The revolution in elementary particle physics sparked by the unearthing of the bizarre J/psi particle in 1974, and followed by the discovery of the equally mysterious tau and upsilon particles, led to a beautiful interweaving of theory and experiment culminating in the SalamWeinberg theory of electroweak interactions and the Quantum Chromodynamic theory of strong interactions. The extraordinary prediction of the existence of the W and Z-zero bosons was fulfilled in 1983, and it is now possible to produce Z-zeros in millions. The emphasis today is on fine quantitative detail and, to match this, more sophisticated theoretical calculations are demanded. This book presents a comprehensive and unified treatment of modern theoretical and experimental particle physics at a level accessible to beginning research students. The emphasis throughout, is on presenting underlying physical principles in a simple and intuitive way.
