文档介绍：AN INTRODUCTION TO THE STANDARD MODEL OF
PARTICLE PHYSICS
Second Edition
The Standard Model of particle physics is the mathematical theory that describes
the weak, ic and strong interactions between leptons and quarks, the
basic particles of the Standard Model.
The new edition of this introductory graduate textbook provides a concise but
accessible introduction to the Standard Model. It has been updated to account for
the esses of the theory of strong interactions, and the observations on matter–
antimatter asymmetry. It has e 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 ic and weak interactions of leptons and quarks to the strong
interactions of quarks.
This textbook provides an up-to-date introduction to the Standard Model for
graduate students in particle physics. 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.
noel cottingham and derek greenwood are theoreticians working in the
H. H. Wills Physics Laboratory at the University of Bristol. They have published two
undergraduate texts with Cambridge University Press, Electricity and ism
(1991) and An Introduction to Nuclear Physics,now in its second edition (2001).
