This is perhaps the most up-to-date book on Modern Elementary
Particle Physics. The main content is an introduction to Yang-Mills
fields, and the Standard Model of Particle Physics. A concise
introduction to quarks is provided, with a discussion of the
representations of SU(3).The Standard Model is presented in detail,
including such topics as the Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix, chiral
symmetry breaking, and the -vacuum. Theoretical topics of a more
general nature include path integrals, topological solitons,
renormalization group, effective potentials, the axial anomaly, and
lattice gauge theory.This second edition, which has been expanded,
incorporates the following new subjects: Wilson's renormalization
scheme, and its relation to perturbative renormalization; pitfalls
in quantizing gauge fields, such as the Gribov ambiguity; the
lattice as a consistent regularization; Monte Carlo methods of
solution; and the issues, folklores, and scenarios of quark
confinement. More than a quarter of the book comprise of new
materials.This book may be used as a text for a one-semester course
on advanced quantum field theory, or reference book for particle
physicists.
