DESCRIPTION:
Maria said Five Stars. Ohhhh! mind boggling thing!!!
… readers with a more theoretical background will find this book an essential read. In conclusion, every student and researcher in high energy physics should read this excellent book.Robert Appleby, Reviews, Volume 11, Issue 2, 2010. … Overall, this book is well written and presents this important topic in an excellent and clear way. … The presentation of difficult topics is clear and suitable for a reader new to the subject, while enough material is included to make this book useful as a reference for more e
It then covers the mathematical framework for special relativity and the internal symmetries of the standard model of elementary particle physics. Designed for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in physics, this text provides succinct yet complete coverage of the group theory of the symmetries of the standard model of elementary particle physics. It will help students understand current knowledge about the standard model as well as the physics that potentially lies beyond the standard model.. He then examines electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions; spontaneous symmetry breaking; the elusive Higgs boson; and supersymmetry. In the chapter on Noether’s theorem, the author explains how Lagrangian formalism provides a natural framework for the quantum mechanical interpretation of symmetry principles.
