This book is written for students and scientists wanting to learn
about the Standard Model of particle physics. Only an introductory
course knowledge about quantum theory is needed. The text provides
a pedagogical description of the theory, and incorporates the
recent Higgs boson and top quark discoveries. With its clear and
engaging style, this new edition retains its essential simplicity.
Long and detailed calculations are replaced by simple approximate
ones. It includes introductions to accelerators, colliders, and
detectors, and several main experimental tests of the Standard
Model are explained. Descriptions of some well-motivated extensions
of the Standard Model prepare the reader for new developments. It
emphasizes the concepts of gauge theories and Higgs physics,
electroweak unification and symmetry breaking, and how force
strengths vary with energy, providing a solid foundation for those
working in the field, and for those who simply want to learn about
the Standard Model.
