This book is a comprehensive and unified treatment of modern theoretical and experimental particle physics aimed at beginning graduate students. The emphasis throughout is on presenting underlying physical principles in a simple and intuitive way. In 1983, researchers detected the existence of W and Z bosons and many new results have followed. This is the first graduate-level textbook to deal with the "second generation" of particle physics after 1983. 3pi]Features of this edition include: A detailed discussion of higher order electroweak effects; an expanded discussion of quark mixing; revised sections on charm and beauty and on jet physics; enlarged treatment of deep inelastic lepton-adron scattering; detailed treatment of QCD corrections to the simple parton model; and an introduction to the nonperturbative or confinement region of QCD.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A clear and well thought out treatment,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Introduction to Gauge Theories and Modern Particle Physics (Cambridge Monographs on Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics and Cosmology) (Volume 1) (Hardcover)
Leader and Predazzi have written an exsellent text for graduate students. They cover the wide range of topics in great clarity. Especially in the chapter about renormalization they succeed in presenting the core in detail without technical obfuscation.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent text,

This review is from: An Introduction to Gauge Theories and Modern Particle Physics (Cambridge Monographs on Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics and Cosmology) (Paperback)
this is the text that every graduate student who wants to understand the current status of particle physics should read. Personally I had some difficulties going from some elementary texts to upper level texts until I have found this at our library. The appendixes at the end of this two volume text is also comprehensive and so useful. I totally suggest this book for those who want to build up a strong phenomenological background and get some taste from experimental success of the standard model.

Processes in which particles can be created or annihilated are best treated in the language of quantum field theory, using field operators (x) that are linear superpositions of operators a(p) and a(p) which respectively create and annihilate particles of momentum p when they act upon any state vector.
