It provides a unique elementary introduction to quantum field theory, establishing the essentials of the formal and conceptual framework upon which the subsequent development of the three gauge theories is based. The text also describes tree-level calculations of physical processes in QED and introduces ideas of renormalization in the context of one-loop radiative corrections for QED. 606 $aGauge fields (Physics) 606 $aParticles (Nuclear physics) 606 $aWeak interactions (Nuclear physics) 610 $aNuclear physics 610 $aPhysics 610 $aQuantum physics (quantum mechanics and quantum field theory) 615 0$aGauge fields (Physics) 615 0$aParticles (Nuclear physics) 615 0$aWeak interactions (Nuclear physics) 676 $a530.1435 700 $aAitchison$b Ian Johnston Rhind$f1936-$040467 702 $aHey$b Anthony J.
