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. This is a valuable book for graduate students and researchers in particle physics, nuclear physics and related fields.
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.

John F. Donoghue is Distinguished Professor in the Department of Physics, University of Massachusetts. His research spans particle physics, quantum field theory and general relativity. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. Eugene Golowich is Emeritus Professor in the Department of Physics, University of Massachusetts. His research has focused on particle theory and phenomenology. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and is a recipient of the College Outstanding Teacher award from the University of Massachusetts. Barry R. Holstein is Emeritus Professor in the Department of Physics, University of Massachusetts. His research is in the overlap area of particle and nuclear theory. A Fellow of the American Physical Society, he is also the editor of Annual Reviews of Nuclear and Particle Science and is a longtime consulting editor of the American Journal of Physics.
