Chapter 15: QCD II: Asymptotic Freedom, the Renormalization Group, and Scaling Violations. Chapter 16: Lattice Field Theory, and the Renormalization Group Revisited. Chapter 17: Spontaneously Broken Global Symmetry. Chapter 18: Chiral Symmetry Breaking. Chapter 19: Spontaneously Broken Local Symmetry. Chapter 20: Introduction to the Phenomenology of Weak Interactions. Chapter 21: CP Violation and Oscillation Phenomena. Chapter 22: The Glashow-Salam-Weinberg Gauge Theory of Electroweak Interactions. Chapter 23: Further Developments. Appendix M: Group Theory. Appendix N: Geometrical Aspects of Gauge Fields. Appendix O: Dimensional Regularization. Appendix P: Grassmann Variables. Appendix Q: Feynman Rules for Tree Graphs in QCD and the Electroweak Theory. References.; The fifth edition of this well-established, highly regarded two-volume set continues to provide a fundamental introduction to advanced particle physics while incorporating substantial new experimental results, especially in the areas of Higgs and top sector physics, as well as CP violation and neutrino oscillations. It offers an accessible and practical introduction to the three gauge theories comprising the Standard Model of particle physics: quantum electrodynamics (QED), quantum chromodynamics (QCD), and the Glashow-Salam-Weinberg (GSW) electroweak theory.Volume 2 of this updated edition covers the two non-Abelian gauge theories of QCD and the GSW theory. A distinctive feature is the extended treatment of two crucial theoretical tools: spontaneous symmetry breaking and the renormalization group. The underlying physics of these is elucidated by parallel discussions of examples from condensed matter systems: superfluidity and superconductivity, and critical phenomena. This new edition includes updates to jet algorithms, lattice field theory, CP violation and the CKM matrix, and neutrino physics.New to the fifth edition:- Tests of the Standard Model in the Higgs and top quark sectors- The naturalness problem and responses to it going beyond the Standard Model- The Standard Model as an effective field theoryEach volume should serve as a valuable handbook for students and researchers in advanced particle physics looking for an accessible introduction to the Standard Model of particle physics. |
