Gauge Field Theories: An Introduction with Applications

By Mike Guidry

Book Overview

Gauge field theory has important applications in the fields of nuclear physics and astrophysics. This book of lectures introduces the fundamental ideas of local gauge field theory to scientists with little training in elementary particle physics and quantum field theory. The first section of the book introduces the general concepts of relativistic quantum field theory. Part 2 describes the essential ingredients of gauge fields for the weak, electromagnetic and strong interactions.
