Gauge Thetheoriesin Particle Physics, Second EditionThis book will provide you with a good practical understanding of quantum electrodynamics, quantum chromodynamics and the electroweak theory, which together make up the standard model. The new edition includes over 50 diagrams showing experimental data, allowing the reader to work through calculations in the three gauge theories and compare the results with experiment. |
