Gauge Field Theories: An Introduction with Applications 1st Edition by Mike Guidry (PDF)

Description

Acquaints readers with the main concepts and literature of elementary particle physics and quantum field theory. In particular, the book is concerned with the elaboration of gauge field theories in nuclear physics; the possibility of creating fundamental new states of matter such as an extended quark-gluon plasma in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions; and the relation of gauge theories to the creation and evolution of the universe. Divided into three parts, it opens with an introduction to the general principles of relativistic quantum field theory followed by the essential ingredients of gauge fields for weak and electromagnetic interactions, quantum chromodynamics and strong interactions. The third part is concerned with the interface between modern elementary particle physics and “applied disciplines” such as nuclear physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Includes references and numerous exercises.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is a high quality book in terms of its clarity and compactness. The book contains a lot of useful information, the presentation is more or less self-contained. Of course, reader needsto fill in some gaps by completing the problems pr consulting other references provided in thebook in the section of background and further reading at the end of each chapter.

⭐This book is very nice. Not only does it present the theory and give problems, the problems are solved in the appendix (for the most part) and many references are cited, allowing the reader to review work elsewhere. If you are interested in quantum fields and gauge theory, I would suggest reading and working out of this book.
