Modern particle physics.
Thomson, Mark.
Modern particle physics. /Mark Thomson. - , United Kingdom : Cambridge University Press , 2013.
Introduction
Underlying concepts
Decay rates and cross sections
The Dirac equation
Interaction by particle exchange
Electron-positron annihilation
Electron-proton elastic scattering
Deep inelastic scattering
Symmetries and the quark model
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD)
The weak interaction
The weak interactions of leptons
Neutrinos and neutrino oscillations
CP violation and weak hadronic interactions
Electroweak unification
Tests of the Standard Model
The Higgs boson
The Standard model and beyond
"Unique in its coverage of all aspects of modern particle physics, this textbook provides a clear connection between the theory and recent experimental results, including the discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN. It provides a comprehensive and self-contained description of the Standard Model of particle physics suitable for upper-level undergraduate students and graduate students studying experimental particle physics. Physical theory is introduced in a straightforward manner with full mathematical derivations throughout. Fully-worked examples enable students to link the mathematical theory to results from modern particle physics experiments. End-of-chapter exercises, graded by difficulty, provide students with a deeper understanding of the subject. Online resources available at www.cambridge.org/MPP feature password-protected fully-worked solutions to problems for instructors, numerical solutions and hints to the problems for students and PowerPoint slides and JPEGs of figures from the book
