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.
