The Standard Model
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
9781009313872 (ISBN)
This innovative textbook has been designed with approachability and engagement at its forefront, using language reminiscent of a live lecture and interspersing the main text with useful advice and expansions. Striking a balance between theoretical- and experimental-led approaches, this book immediately immerses the reader in charge and neutral currents, which are at the core of the Standard Model, before presenting the gauge field, allowing the introduction of Feynman diagram calculations at an early stage. This novel and effective approach gives readers a head start in understanding the Model's predictions, stoking interest early on. With in-chapter problem sessions which help readers to build their mastery of the subject, clarifying notes on equations, end of chapter exercises to consolidate learning, and marginal comments to guide readers through the complexities of the Standard Model, this is the ideal book for graduate students studying high energy physics.
Marco Fabbrichesi is a researcher in theoretical high-energy physics at the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, Trieste, Italy. His work spans areas including string theory, supersymmetry, and flavour physics. With a focus on making physics accessible, he has taught a wide variety of classes and has written two books for non-specialists. He studied at the University of Virginia and has been a fellow at the JINR, Dubna, the Neils Bohr Institute, Copenhagen, and the Theory Division at Cern, Geneva.
