Description for Gauge Theories of the Strong, Weak, and Electromagnetic Interactions: Second Edition
Hardback. Offers an introduction to gauge theories and their applications to high-energy particle physics, and takes a look at two new laws of nature-quantum chromodynamics and the electroweak theory. This title examines the logic and structure behind gauge theories and the experimental underpinnings of theories. Num Pages: 496 pages, 150 line illus. 17 tables. BIC Classification: PHK; PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 262 x 178 x 35. Weight in Grams: 1178.
This completely revised and updated graduate-level textbook is an ideal introduction to gauge theories and their applications to high-energy particle physics, and takes an in-depth look at two new laws of nature--quantum chromodynamics and the electroweak theory. From quantum electrodynamics through unified theories of the interactions among leptons and quarks, Chris Quigg examines the logic and structure behind gauge theories and the experimental underpinnings of today's theories. Quigg emphasizes how we know what we know, and in the era of the Large Hadron Collider, his insightful survey of the standard model and the next great questions for particle physics makes ...
