Book Description

0444869999 978-0444869999 August 15, 1986
``Field Theory in Particle Physics'' is an introduction to the use of
relativistic field theory in particle physics. The authors explain the principal
concepts of perturbative field theory and demonstrate their application in
practical situations. The material presented in this book has been tested
extensively in courses and the book is written in a lucid and engaging style.
Many interesting problems are included at the end of each chapter, both to test
the understanding of the subject matter and to further amplify the ideas in the
text. The authors have taken great care to make their presentation as
self-contained as possible by adding several appendices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vol.2 should come soon!, April 20, 2001
By 
"compactification" (Stony Brook, N.Y. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Field Theory in Particle Physics, Volume 1 (North-Holland Personal Library) (Paperback)
This volume is very good in treating the renormalization of QED. The authors used dimensional regularization which is the most elegant formalism of renormalization. Vol.2 is even better than Vol.1, but unfortunately it is still not published. It also has many very good examples such as toy models and it is also very helpful in offering calculation tricks! Shotcoming of this book is that it has no formal introduction to Feynman diagram technique. However this is kind of advantage from another point of view.
