Elementary Particle Physics in a Nutshell

Zusatztext "[T]he book is a valuable and important addition to libraries! personal and institutional. It would serve as an excellent textbook to students taking up research in elementary particle physics and also as a reference volume." ---B. Ananthanarayan! Current Science Informationen zum Autor Christopher G. Tully Klappentext "This is a remarkable book in its breadth and depth, with many beautiful and useful things in it. It provides a very timely introduction to the physics of the LHC era with clarity and sophistication." --Henry J. Frisch, University of Chicago "Tully's book provides a new perspective on elementary particle physics as the era of the LHC begins. Elementary Particle Physics in a Nutshell gives the starting student or seasoned practitioner the substance and style of LHC physics while also giving the development of the Standard Model its due. The author has been painstaking in the exposition of paradoxes that are not normally discussed in texts at this level. A superb book." --Peter Fisher, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Zusammenfassung The new experiments underway at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland may significantly change our understanding of elementary particle physics and, indeed, the universe. Suitable for first-year graduate students and advanced undergraduates, this textbook provides an introduction to the field.
