Dynamics of the Standard Model (Cambridge Monographs on Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics and Cosmology, Series Number 2) by John F. Donoghue (PDF)

Description

This book gives a detailed account of the Standard Model of particle physics, focusing on the techniques by which the model can produce information about real observed phenomena. It opens with a pedagogic account of the theory of the Standard Model. Introductions to the essential calculational techniques are included. The major part of the text is concerned with the use of the Standard Model in the calculation of physical properties of particles. Rigorous and reliable methods (radiative corrections and nonperturbative techniques based on symmetries and anomalies) are emphasized, but other useful models (such as the quark and Skyrme models) are also described. The strong and electroweak interactions are not treated as independent threads but rather are woven together into a unified phenomenological fabric. Many exercises and diagrams are included.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “…certainly a good resource for a worker in the field….a valuable reference book in a graduate particle physics course.” Mary K. Gaillard, American Journal of Physics”…I like this book. In fact, I think you will too, if you are interested in the details of the standard model. This book devotes a lot of attention to aspects of the standard model that require an understanding of its dynamics and not merely its symmetries. These issues are very important for researchers, and the book is destined to become both a valuablereference for them and a text that can be used in advanced courses in particle physics.” Steven Gottlieb, Physics Today”…a welcome addition. Their text concentrates on how the basic theory can be connected to the observable real world….will fill in a gap in…the existing literature available to the particle physics community.” A.D. Martin, Journal of Physics G”…provides a clear concise formulation of the theory and then goes through the application of the theory to most of the important experimental results to which it can be applied.” L. Wolfenstein, Foundations of Physics Book Description This book gives a detailed account of the Standard Model of particle physics.

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

⭐This book is written for the level after the readers gain some acquaintance and familiarity on quantum field theory (such as the level after Peskin&Schroeder’s QFT, A Zee’s QFT in a nutshell, or Srednicki’s QFT). It contains both in depth theoretical analysis(such as the anomaly, instantons, QCD vacuum) as well as phenomenological studies(such pion decay, low energy QCD, chiral perturbative theory and chiral symmetry breaking and more on mesons / baryons).The only thing on the regretful side is that the book is too pedagogical, so it does not contain any colloquial-style stories or sections (such as the style of A Zee’s QFT or Sidney Coleman’s aspects of symmetry).For a practical issue of PhD students in theory, it is actually on the list of must-read books for the PhD oral qualifier exam at high energy division, such as MIT CTP, for example. For the long term view, it is also a nice book to store on the book shelf for references.

⭐the book is in excellent condition.
