Standard model in a nutshell / Dave Goldberg.

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: Princeton : Princeton University Press, [2017].Description: xvii, 295 pages : illustrations ; 27 cmISBN:
  • 9780691167596 (hardcover ; alk. paper)
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 539.72 23 G618
Contents:
1. Special relativity -- 2. Scalar fields -- 3. Noether's theorem -- 4. Symmetry -- 5. The Dirac equation -- 6. Electromagnetism -- 7. Quantum electrodynamics -- 8. The weak interaction -- 9. Electroweak unification -- 10. Particle mixing -- 11. The strong interaction -- 12. Beyond the standard model.
Summary: The Standard Model in a Nutshell provides a comprehensive and uncommonly accessible introduction to one of the most important subjects in modern physics, revealing why, despite initial appearances, the entire framework really is as elegant as physicists say. Dave Goldberg uses a "just-in-time" approach to instruction that enables students to gradually develop a deep understanding of the Standard Model even if this is their first exposure to it. He covers everything from relativity, group theory, and relativistic quantum mechanics to the Higgs boson, unification schemes, and physics beyond the Standard Model. The book also looks at new avenues of research that could answer still-unresolved questions and features numerous worked examples, helpful illustrations, and more than 120 exercises.
