Advanced Particle Physics, Volume II: The Standard Model and Beyond

Abstract

The second volume on the Standard Model and beyond discusses: The technique of renormalization in quantum chromodynamics (QCD); The status of current QCD experi-ments; Physics beyond the Stan-dard Model, including composite models and a left-right model; How solar and atmospheric neutrinos are detected and analyzed. The book enables readers not only to perform complicated and skilled calculations, but also to propose and elaborate new theories. The book contains extensive references that offer a comprehensive pers-pective on the literature and histo-rical development of particle physics.
