Although group theory has played a significant role in the
development of various disciplines of physics, there are few recent
books that start from the beginning and then build on to consider
applications of group theory from the point of view of high energy
physicists. Group Theory for High Energy Physicists fills that
role. It presents groups, especially Lie groups, and their
characteristics in a way that is easily comprehensible to
physicists. The book first introduces the concept of a group and
the characteristics that are imperative for developing group theory
as applied to high energy physics. It then describes group
representations since matrix representations of a group are often
more convenient to deal with than the abstract group itself. With a
focus on continuous groups, the text analyzes the root structure of
important groups and obtains the weights of various representations
of these groups. It also explains how symmetry principles
associated with group theoretical techniques can be used to
interpret experimental results and make predictions. This concise,
gentle introduction is accessible to undergraduate and graduate
students in physics and mathematics as well as researchers in high
energy physics. It shows how to apply group theory to solve high
energy physics problems.
