商品描述
The Standard Model of elementary particle physics was tentatively outlined in the early 1970s. The concepts of quarks, leptons, neutrinos, gauge symmetries, chiral interactions, Higgs boson, strong force, weak force, and electromagnetism were all put together to form a unifying theory of elementary particles. Furthermore, the model was developed within the context of relativistic quantum field theory, making it compatible with all of the laws of Einstein's Special Relativity. The successes of the Standard Model over the years have been tremendous and enduring, leading up to the recent discovery and continuing study of the Higgs boson.
This book is a comprehensive and technical introduction to Standard Model physics. Martin and Wells provide readers who have no prior knowledge of quantum field theory or particle physics a firm foundation into the fundamentals of both. The emphasis is on obtaining practical knowledge of how to calculate cross-sections and decay rates. There is no better way to understand the necessary abstract knowledge and solidify its meaning than to learn how to apply it to the computation of observables that can be measured in a laboratory.
Beginning graduate students, both experimental and theoretical, and advanced undergraduate students interested in particle physics, will find this to be an ideal one-semester textbook to begin their technical learning of elementary particle physics.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
基本粒子物理的標準模型在1970年代初期被初步勾勒出來。夸克、輕子、中微子、規範對稱、手徑相互作用、希格斯玻色子、強力、弱力和電磁力等概念被整合在一起，形成了一個統一的基本粒子理論。此外，該模型是在相對論量子場論的背景下發展的，使其與愛因斯坦的特殊相對論的所有法則相容。標準模型多年的成功是巨大的且持久的，最終導致了最近對希格斯玻色子的發現和持續研究。
本書是對標準模型物理的全面且技術性的介紹。馬丁和威爾斯為沒有量子場論或粒子物理背景的讀者提供了堅實的基礎，重點在於獲得計算截面和衰變率的實用知識。沒有比學習如何將必要的抽象知識應用於計算可以在實驗室中測量的可觀測量更好的方法來理解其意義並鞏固其含義。
對於初學的研究生（無論是實驗性還是理論性）以及對粒子物理感興趣的高年級本科生來說，這本書將是開始他們基本粒子物理技術學習的理想一學期教科書。
作者簡介
Stephen P. Martin is a Professor of physics at Northern Illinois University, where he received the university's highest award for teaching excellence. A PhD graduate of the University of California at Santa Barbara, he is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, and works on theoretical high-energy physics at the frontiers of the Standard Model of fundamental particles.
James D. Wells is professor of physics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. His theoretical physics research explores the origins of electroweak symmmetry breaking, dark matter, CP violation, and mass hierarchies. Professor Wells is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a recipient of an Outstanding Junior Investigator (OJI) Award from the U.S. Department of Energy, and a Sloan Fellowship from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.作者簡介(中文翻譯)
