Dynamics of the standard model / John F. Donoghue, University of Massachusetts, Eugene Golowich, University of Massachusetts, and Barry R. Holstein, University of Massachusetts. - Second edition. - Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2014. - 1 online resource (xix, 573 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). - Cambridge monographs on particle physics, nuclear physics, and cosmology ; 35 . - Cambridge monographs on particle physics, nuclear physics, and cosmology ; 35. .
Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Inputs to the Standard Model -- Interactions of the Standard Model -- Symmetries and anomalies -- Introduction to effective field theory -- Charged leptons -- Neutrinos -- Effective field theory for low-energy QCD -- Weak interactions of kaons -- Mass mixing and CP violation -- The Nc-1 expansion -- Phenomenological models -- Baryon properties -- Hadron spectroscopy -- Weak interactions of heavy quarks -- The Higgs boson -- The electroweak sector.
Describing the fundamental theory of particle physics and its applications, this book provides a detailed account of the Standard Model, focusing on techniques that can produce information about real observed phenomena. The book begins with a pedagogic account of the Standard Model, introducing essential techniques such as effective field theory and path integral methods. It then focuses on the use of the Standard Model in the calculation of physical properties of particles. Rigorous methods are emphasized, but other useful models are also described. This second edition has been updated to include recent theoretical and experimental advances, such as the discovery of the Higgs boson. A new chapter is devoted to the theoretical and experimental understanding of neutrinos, and major advances in CP violation and electroweak physics have been given a modern treatment. This book is valuable to graduate students and researchers in particle physics, nuclear physics and related fields.
