Since the development of natural philosophy in Ancient Greece,
scientists have been concerned with determining the nature of
matter's smallest constituents and the interactions among them.
This textbook examines the question of the microscopic composition
of matter through an accessible introduction to what is now called
'The Physics of Elementary Particles'. In the last few decades,
elementary particle physics has undergone a period of transition,
culminating in the formulation of a new theoretical scheme, known
as 'The Standard Model', which has profoundly changed our
understanding of nature's fundamental forces. Rooted in the
experimental tradition, this new vision is based on geometry and
sees the composition of matter in terms of its accordance with
certain geometrical principles. This textbook presents and explains
this modern viewpoint to a readership of well-motivated
undergraduate students, by guiding the reader from the basics to
the more advanced concepts of Gauge Symmetry, Quantum Field Theory
and the phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking through
concrete physical examples. This engaging introduction to the
theoretical advances and experimental discoveries of the last
decades makes this fascinating subject accessible to undergraduate
students and aims at motivating them to study it further.
