What is Gauge Theories in Particle Physics: A Practical Introduction Volume 1 about?

Contents 1 Quarks and Leptons.2 Particle Interactions in the Standard Mode.3 Electromagnetism as a Gauge Theory.4 Relativistic Quantum Mechanics.5 Quantum Field Theory I.6 Quantum Field Theory II: Interacting Scalar Fields.7 Quantum Field Theory III: Complex Scalar Fields, Dirac and Maxwell fields; Introduction of Electromagnetism.8 Elementary Processes in Scalara and Spinor Electrodynamics.9 Deep Inelastic Electron-nucleon Scattering and the Quark Parton Model.10 Higher Order Processes and Renormalisation. 11 Appendices.Index Synopsis This book provides an accessible, practical and comprehensive introduction to the three gauge theories of the 'standard model' of particle physics: quantum electrodynamics (QED), quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and the electroweak theory. For each of them, the authors provide a thorough discussion of the main conceptual points; a detailed exposition of many practical calculations of physical quantities; and a comparison of these quantitative predictions with experimental results. For this two-volume third edition, much of the book has been re-written to reflect developments over the last decade, both in the curricula of university course
