Get First-Hand Insight from a Contributor to the Standard Model of
Particle Physics Written by an award-winning former
director-general of CERN and one of the world's leading experts on
particle physics, Electroweak Interactions explores the concepts
that led to unification of the weak and electromagnetic
interactions. It provides the fundamental elements of the theory of
compact Lie groups and their representations, enabling a basic
understanding of the role of flavor symmetry in particle physics.
Understand Conceptual Elements of the Theory of Elementary
Particles The book begins with the identification of the weak
hadronic current with the isotopic spin current, Yang-Mills theory,
and the first electroweak theory of Glashow. It discusses
spontaneous breaking of a global symmetry and a local symmetry,
covering the Goldstone theorem, Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism, and
the theory of Weinberg and Salam. The author then describes the
theory of quarks, quark mixing, the Cabibbo angle, the
Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani (GIM) mechanism, the theory of Kobayashi
and Maskawa, six quark flavors, and CP violation. Delve into
Experimental Tests and Unresolved Problems The author goes on to
explore some phenomenological topics, such as neutral current
interactions of neutrinos and CP violation in the neutral K-meson
system. He also highlights how flavor-changing neutral current
processes have emerged as probes to reveal the presence of new
phenomena at energies not yet accessible with particle
accelerators. The book concludes with an explanation of the
expected properties of the Higgs boson and the methods adopted for
its search. The predictions are also compared with relevant
experimental results. View the author's first book in this
collection: Relativistic Quantum Mechanics: An Introduction to
Relativistic Quantum Fields.
