Helping readers understand the complicated laws of nature, this volume explains the calculations, experimental procedures, and measuring methods of particle physics. It covers the mathematical foundation of quantum field theory, elucidates the interactions and particles of the Standard Model, and discusses the technique of renormalization in quantum electrodynamics. It also describes modern physics devices, including accelerators, elementary particle detectors, and neutrino telescopes. Along with a host of problems and references at the end of each section, the book includes all necessary...

Helping readers understand the complicated laws of nature, Advanced Particle Physics Volume II: The Standard Model and Beyond explains the calculations, experimental procedures, and measuring methods of particle physics, particularly quantum chromodynamics (QCD). It also discusses extensions to the Standard Model and the physics of massive neutrinos.

Divided into three parts, this volume begins with QCD. It explains the quantization scheme using functional integrals and investigates renormalization problems. The book also calculates cross sections of basic hard processes and covers...
