Unique in its coverage of all aspects of modern particle physics, this textbook provides a clear connection between the theory and recent experimental results, including the discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN. It provides a comprehensive and self-contained description of the Standard Model of particle physics suitable for upper-level undergraduate students and graduate students studying experimental particle physics. Physical theory is introduced in a straightforward manner with full mathematical derivations throughout. Fully-worked examples enable students to link the mathematical theory to results from modern particle physics experiments. End-of-chapter exercises, graded by difficulty, provide students with a deeper understanding of the subject. Online resources available at feature password-protected fully-worked solutions to problems for instructors, numerical solutions and hints to the problems for students and PowerPoint slides and JPEGs of figures from the book. Review: Thomson + desertcart = Beauty - This book is wonderful and must read for an introductory course in Particle Physics . The good thing about this book is that it is written in very simple language . I am so much happy to see the content of the book . It is self sufficient for the novice reader. This book contains all the mathematical machinery needed for its use . The desertcart delivery was very fast and I was not expecting that much fast delivery . I thanks both Thomson and desertcart for providing such a beautiful asset . Review: Good for beginners - Easy to understand. Describing mathematical knowledge of Dirac field. Neutrino Oscillation part is also good .

Decent book for an introduction to particle physics
The author writes that this book is based on a final-year undergraduate lecture course that he gave at the University of Cambridge and that the only prerequisites are quantum mechanics and special relativity. I would say that this is definitely true and the author succeeding in writing a particle physics book for such an audience. This book is a great book, well-suited for final-year undergraduate physics students or introductory graduate physics students. It is definitely not the most rigorous book on particle physics with sophisticated discussions on quantum fields. This book should be used as an introduction to the Standard Model, where one learns what the Standard Model is about and how to do some scattering calculations. This book also discusses important particle physics experiments much more than, say, David Griffith's particle physics textbook. If you are interested in not just learning the theory and like to read about the key experiments that relate to the theory, this book is a good introduction. However, the derivation of the Feynman rules is only briefly discussed and the derivation is sketched. You will need to read a more advanced textbook if you want a rigorous discussion of the Feynman rules. But there are plenty of books for more advanced topics, so this shouldn't be viewed as a problem with this textbook. Overall, this book achieves the goals that the author had in mind and if you fall under the intended audience then I think you will enjoy the book.

O melhor livro introdutório de partículas
O melhor livro de física de partículas que já vi. Apesar de introdutório, é muito detalhado na parte matemática. Não exige conhecimento profundo de mecânica quântica. Aliás, há uma boa revisão de conceitos fundamentais, o que faz o livro bem autocontido. Considero superior ao (também excelente) livro do Griffits. Não exige conhecimento prévio de teoria quântica de campos. Aliás, serve até de uma boa introdução ao tema. Ler este livro vai te facilitar muito o estudo de um livro de teoria qântica de campos como o de Peskin e Schroeder. Quanto ao livro, fisicamente, a qualidade do material, papel e impressão são excelentes. Pode comprar sem receio, você não vai se arrepender.
