Whenever possible, Dr. Mann takes an historical approach showing how the model is linked to the physics that most of us have learned in less challenging areas. Dr. Mann reviews special relativity and classical mechanics, symmetries, conservation laws, and particle classification; then working from the tested paradigm of the model itself, he. Those who work through the material will develop a solid command of the basics of particle physics. The book does require a knowledge of special relativity, quantum mechanics, and electromagnetism, but most importantly it requires a hunger to understand at the most fundamental level: why things exist and how it is that anything happens. This book will prepare students and others for further study, but most importantly it will prepare them to open their minds to the mysteries that lie ahead. Ultimately, the Large Hadron Collider may prove the model correct, helping so many realize their greatest dreams ? or it might poke holes in the model, leaving us to wonder an even more exciting possibility: that the answers lie in possibilities so unique that we have not even dreamt of them. 606 $aParticles (Nuclear physics) 606 $aQuark models 606 $aString models 615 0$aParticles (Nuclear physics) 615 0$aQuark models. 615 0$aString models. 676 $a539.7/2 686 $aUO 1000$2rvk 686 $aUO 5000$2rvk 700 $aMann$b Robert$0476019 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460726203321 996 $aAn introduction to particle physics and the standard model$92215789 997 $aUNINA
