Written by world-leading experts in particle physics, this new book
from Luciano Maiani and Omar Benhar, with contributions from the
late Nicola Cabibbo, is based on Feynman's path integrals. Key
elements of gauge theories are described-Feynman diagrams,
gauge-fixing, Faddeev-Popov ghosts-as well as renormalization in
Quantum Electrodynamics. Quarks and QCD interactions are
introduced. Renormalization group and high momentum behaviour of
the coupling constants is discussed in QED and QCD, with asymptotic
freedom derived at one-loop. These concepts are related to the
Higgs boson and models of grand unification. "... an excellent
introduction to the quantum theory of gauge fields and their
applications to particle physics. ... It will be an excellent book
for the serious student and a good reference for the professional
practitioner. Let me add that, scattered through the pages, we can
find occasional traces of Nicola Cabibbo's style." -John
Iliopoulos, CNRS-Ecole Normale Superieure " ... The volume ends
with an illuminating description of the expectation generated by
the recent discovery of the Higgs boson, combined with the lack of
evidence for super-symmetric particles in the mass range 0.6-1
TeV." -Arturo Menchaca-Rocha, FinstP, Professor of Physics,
Mexico's National Autonomous University, Former President of the
Mexican Academy of Sciences, Presidential Advisor "...The reader is
masterfully guided through the subtleties of the quantum field
theory and elementary particle physics from simple examples in
Quantum Mechanics to salient details of modern theory." -Mikhail
Voloshin, Professor of Physics, University of Minnesota
