An Introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics 2nd Edition by W. N. Cottingham (PDF)

Description

The second edition of this introductory graduate textbook provides a concise but accessible introduction to the Standard Model. It has been updated to account for the successes of the theory of strong interactions, and the observations on matter-antimatter asymmetry. It has become clear that neutrinos are not mass-less, and this book gives a coherent presentation of the phenomena and the theory that describes them. It includes an account of progress in the theory of strong interactions and of advances in neutrino physics. The book clearly develops the theoretical concepts from the electromagnetic and weak interactions of leptons and quarks to the strong interactions of quarks. Each chapter ends with problems, and hints to selected problems are provided at the end of the book. The mathematical treatments are suitable for graduates in physics, and more sophisticated mathematical ideas are developed in the text and appendices.

User’s Reviews

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

⭐In this second edition the authors have upgraded their book to incorporate recent discoveries in several areas including:o the successes of the theory of strong interactionso the observations on matter-antimatter asymmetryo advances in neutrino physics, especially as it has become clear that neutrinos are not mass-lesso the theoretical concepts from the electromagnetic and weak interactions of leptons and quarks to the strong interactions of quarks.The book is aimed at the graduate student in particle physics. It has a rigorous mathematical structure. After all, the Standard Model is basically a mathematical theory that describes the interactions between leptons and quarks.Throughout the book there are many references to open questions that likewise reflect the state of the Standard Model.

⭐According to my opinion this book is well written and well organized and also quite short so that you are not lost in details.

⭐Nice book. But the quality of hardcover is very bad (on my book it is badly glued).

⭐Having completed a SM course I wanted a good text to review many concepts and dig a little deeper. This book is ideal, but as ever, many steps / derivations are assumed math & intuition you might not know unless you are taking a course in the Standard Model. Overall a great concise book that I’d recommend alongside a more ‘wordy’ intro text such as Veltmans.

⭐Il testo ideale per approfondire i concetti base della teoria sul modello standard, un must per chi si occupa di ricerca.

⭐Not found.

⭐Very interesting just what I was looking for.

⭐ok
