Collider Physics

by Vernon D. Barger, R.J. Phillips, Roger J. N. Phillips

Book Overview

This updated edition of Collider Physics surveys the major developments in theoretical and experimental particle physics and uses numerous illustrations to show how the Standard Model explains the experimental results. Collider Physics offers an introduction to the fundamental particles and their interactions at the level of a lecture course for graduate students, with emphasis on the aspects most closely related to colliders--past, present, and future...

A Must-Have for the Phenomenologist

This excellent introduction to collider physics serves as a necessary reference for collider physics calculations. It describes and includes numerous Standard Model calculations from the phenomenologist's perspective, which are essential starting points for generalizing the calculations to new physics. Ellis et al. have a good complementary text, QCD and Collider Physics (Cambridge Monographs on Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics and Cosmology).
