Advanced Particle Physics, Volume I: Particles, Fields, and Quantum Electrodynamics

By Oleg Boyarkin

Helping readers understand the complicated laws of nature, this volume explains the calculations, experimental procedures, and measuring methods of particle physics. It covers the mathematical foundation of quantum field theory, elucidates the interactions and particles of the Standard Model, and discusses the technique of renormalization in quantum electrodynamics. It also describes modern physics devices, including accelerators, elementary particle detectors, and neutrino telescopes. Along with a host of problems and references at the end of each section, the book includes all necessary derivations and calculations and offers numerous application examples.
