Description for Introduction to Elementary Particle Physics
Hardback. Provides fully updated coverage of undergraduate particle physics, including the Higgs boson discovery, with an emphasis on physics over mathematics. Num Pages: 489 pages, 265 b/w illus. 264 exercises. BIC Classification: PHP. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 197 x 250 x 26. Weight in Grams: 1200.
The second edition of this successful textbook is fully updated to include the discovery of the Higgs boson and other recent developments, providing undergraduate students with complete coverage of the basic elements of the standard model of particle physics for the first time. Physics is emphasised over mathematical rigour, making the material accessible to students with no previous knowledge of elementary particles. Important experiments and the theory linked to them are highlighted, helping students appreciate how key ideas were developed. The chapter on neutrino physics has been completely revised, and the final chapter summarises the limits of the standard model ... Read more

Reviews for Introduction to Elementary Particle Physics
'I liked the first edition very much, and used it for my classes. I like the second edition even better … Best of all, for the current version, there are some timely additions, most notably the discovery of the Higgs boson and an expanded chapter on neutrino oscillations … Let us hope that Run 2 at the LHC will necessitate ...
