It provides a comprehensive and self-contained description of the Standard Model of particle physics suitable for upper-level undergraduate students and graduate students studying experimental particle physics. Physical theory is introduced in a straightforward manner with full mathematical derivations throughout. Fully-worked examples enable students to link the mathematical theory to results from modern particle physics experiments. End-of-chapter exercises, graded by difficulty, provide students with a deeper understanding of the subject. Online resources available at www.cambridge.org/MPP feature password-protected fully-worked solutions to problems for instructors, numerical solutions and hints to the problems for students and PowerPoint slides and JPEGs of figures from the book"--Provided by publisherParticles (Nuclear physics)Textbooks.b1435781118-01-2128-01-19991003598489707536LE006 53.3.1 THOC. 112006000103732le006pE51.73-l- 01310.i1588109x05-03-19LE006 53.3.1 THOC. 212006000186988le006pE51.73-l- 03130.i1590759419-11-19LE006 53.3.1 THOC. 312006000105422le006pE51.08-l- 00000.i1594976x18-01-21LE006 53.3.1 THOC. 412006000105439le006pE51.08-l- 00000.i1594977118-01-21LE006 53.3.1 THOC. 512006000105415le006pE51.08-l- 00000.i1594978318-01-21Modern particle physics1497899UNISALENTOle00628-01-19ma engenk00
