"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 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 /Mark Thomson.
