Mann P. An Introduction to Particle Physics and the Standard Model

CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group, 2010. — 602 p. — ISBN13: 978-1-4200-8300-2.An Introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics familiarizes readers with what is considered tested and accepted and in so doing, gives them a grounding in particle physics in general.
. thoroughly recommended for a final-year specialist or first-year postgraduate study level especially for those engaged in experimental high energy physics research. The author has performed an excellent service in making accessible the language and results of field theory applied to elementary particle physics.-John J. Quenby, Contemporary Physics, 52, 2011The first chapter shows how clearly the author can write Read more...
