Beschreibung
An essential introduction to particle physics, with coverageranging from the basics through to the very latest developments, inan accessible and carefully structured text.
Particle Physics: Third Edition is a revision of a highlyregarded introduction to particle physics. In its two previouseditions this book has proved to be an accessible and balancedintroduction to modern particle physics, suitable for thosestudents needed a more comprehensive introduction to the subjectthan provided by the 'compendium' style physicsbooks.
In the Third Edition the standard model of particlephysics is carefully developed whilst unnecessary mathematicalformalism is avoided where possible. Emphasis is placed on theinterpretation of experimental data in terms of the basicproperties of quarks and leptons.
One of the major developments of the past decade has been theestablishing of the existence of neutrino oscillations. This willhave a profound effect on the plans of experimentalists. Thislatest edition brings the text fully up-to-date, and includes newsections on neutrino physics, as well as expanded coverage ofdetectors, such as the LHC detector.
* End of chapter problems with a full set of hints for theirsolutions provided at the end of the book.
* An accessible and carefully structured introduction to thisdemanding subject.
* Includes more advanced material in optional'starred' sections.
* Coverage of the foundations of the subject, as well as the verylatest developments.
