Contents:
I Inputs to the Standard Model -- II Interactions of the Standard Model -- III Symmetries and anomalies -- IV Introduction to effective field theory -- V Charged leptons -- VI Neutrinos -- VII Effective field theory for low-energy QCD -- VIII Weak interactions of kaons -- IX Mass mixing and CP violation -- X The Nc-1 expansion -- XI Phenomenological models -- XII Baryon properties -- XIII Hadron spectroscopy -- XIV Weak interactions of heavy quarks -- XV The Higgs boson -- XVI The electroweak sector-- Appendices-- References-- Index.
Summary: This book provides a detailed account of the Standard Model, focusing on techniques that can produce information about real observed phenomena. The book begins with a pedagogic account of the Standard Model, introducing essential techniques such as effective field theory and path integral methods. It then focuses on the use of the Standard Model in the calculation of physical properties of particles. Rigorous methods are emphasized, but other useful models are also described. This second edition has been updated to include recent theoretical and experimental advances, such as the discovery of the Higgs boson. A new chapter is devoted to the theoretical and experimental understanding of neutrinos, and major advances in CP violation and electroweak physics have been given a modern treatment. This book is valuable to graduate students and researchers in particle physics, nuclear physics and related fields.
