About the book
This book is written for students and scientists wanting to learn about the Standard Model of particle physics. Only an introductory course knowledge about quantum theory is needed. The text provides a pedagogical description of the theory and incorporates the recent Higgs boson and top quark discoveries. With its clear and engaging style this new edition retains its essential simplicity. Long and detailed calculations are replaced by simple approximate ones. It includes introductions to accelerators colliders and detectors and several main experimental tests of the Standard Model are explained. Descriptions of some well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model prepare the reader for new developments. It emphasizes the concepts of gauge theories and Higgs physics electroweak unification and symmetry breaking and how force strengths vary with energy providing a solid foundation for those working in the field and for those who simply want to learn about the Standard Model.
