This book presents a brief introduction to the quantum field theory
of the Standard Model for quarks and leptons. With minimal use of
mathematics, it covers the basics of quantum field theory, local
gauge field theory, spontaneous symmetry breaking mechanism, the
Higgs mechanism and quantum chromodynamics.From the time when the
first edition was published until today, the field of particle
physics has seen some major break-through with the possible
discovery of Higgs particle, also known as the Higgs boson. In the
second edition, the famous Higgs mechanism is included to explain
the symmetry breaking in the Standard Model and the origin of mass,
and all of this is explained in high-school level algebra.Aimed at
both scientists and non-specialists, it requires only some
rudimentary knowledge of the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulation
of Newtonian mechanics as well as a basic understanding of the
special theory of relativity and quantum mechanics to enjoy this
book.
