It starts with two introductory chapters on group theory and the Dirac theory. Then it proceeds with the formulation of the Standard Model (SM) of Particle Physics, particle content and symmetries, fully exploiting the material of the first two chapters. It discusses the concept of gauge symmetries and emphasizes their role in particle physics. It then analyses the Higgs mechanism and the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB). It explains how the particles (gauge bosons and fermions) after the SSB acquire a mass and get admixed. The various forms of the charged currents are discussed in detail as well as how the parameters of the SM, which cannot be determined by the theory, are fixed by experiment, including the recent LHC data and the Higgs discovery. Quantum chromodynamics is discussed and various low energy approximations to it are presented. The Feynman diagrams are introduced and applied, at the level of first-year graduate students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSample Chapter(s)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.worldscientific.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1142\/9789813228566_0001\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eChapter 1: Mathematical Prerequisite A: Elements of Group Theory (658 KB)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMathematical Prerequisite A: Elements of Group Theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMathematical Prerequisite B: The Dirac Theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Standard Model: Particle Content and Symmetry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Higgs Mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFermion Masses and Currents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe SM SU(3) Group; Quantum Chromodynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRates and Cross Sections in Electroweak Theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupersymmetry for Pedestrians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrand Unification; The SU(5) Example\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Brief Introduction to Cosmology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAspects of Neutrino Physics; Neutrino Oscillations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscrete Symmetries:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eC\u003c\/em\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eP\u003c\/em\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eT\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand All That\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendix: Some Elementary Aspects of Particle Physics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"World Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32123447574641,"sku":"9789813228559","price":145.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/0041\/products\/The_Standard_Model_and_Beyond.jpg?v=1602768892","url":"https:\/\/epigrambookshop.xyz\/products\/the-standard-model-and-beyond","provider":"Epigram","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
