Synopsis
An Introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics familiarizes readers with what is considered tested and accepted and in so doing, gives them a grounding in particle physics in general. Whenever possible, Dr. Mann takes an historical approach showing how the model is linked to the physics that most of us have learned in less challenging areas. Dr. Mann reviews special relativity and classical mechanics, symmetries, conservation laws, and particle classification; then working from the tested paradigm of the model itself, he: Describes the Standard Model in terms of its electromagnetic, strong, and weak components Explores the experimental tools and methods of particle physics Introduces Feynman diagrams, wave equations, and gauge invariance, building up to the theory of Quantum Electrodynamics Describes the theories of the Strong and Electroweak interactions Uncovers frontier areas and explores what might lie beyond our current concepts of the subatomic world Those who work through the material will develop a solid command of the basics of particle physics. The book does require a knowledge of special relativity, quantum mechanics, and electromagnetism, but most importantly it requires a hunger to understand at the most fundamental level: why things exist and how it is that anything happens. This book will prepare students and others for further study, but most importantly it will prepare them to open their minds to the mysteries that lie ahead. Ultimately, the Large Hadron Collider may prove the model correct, helping so many realize their greatest dreams ... or it might poke holes in the model, leaving us to wonder an even more exciting possibility: that the answers lie in possibilities so unique that we have not even dreamt of them., This text gives readers a grounding in particle physics, including its experimental tools and methods. Wherever possible, the author takes a historical approach that shows how the model is linked to the physics that most of us have learned in less challenging areas. The text describes the standard model and the theories of the strong and electroweak interactions. The author also introduces Feynman diagrams, wave equations, and gauge invariance, building up to the theory of quantum electrodynamics. In addition, he explores what might lie beyond our current concepts of the subatomic world.

The book is also in perfect condition exactly as advertised. In which case the Seller and Product are flawless. However, the delivery Courier was a complete let down . Such that I only discovered that the book had been dropped on my doorstep by Providence or chance. Apart from the email I received, the Courier did not make any contact with me through the street level buzzer or press my doorbell to alert me.Concepts and Approaches in Evolutionary Epistemology hardcover Fine - Like New (#317048520181)
