Cambridge Monographs on Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics and Cosmology, An Introduction to Gauge Theories and Modern Particle Physics 2 Volume Paperback Set

This work presents, in two volumes, a comprehensive and unified treatment of modern theoretical and experimental particle physics at a level accessible to beginning research students. Volume 1 covers electroweak interactions, the discovery and properties of the ‘new’ particles, the discovery of partons and the construction and predictions of the simple parton model. Volume 2 deals at some length with CP-violation, but is mainly devoted to QCD and its application to ‘hard’ processes. A brief coverage of ‘soft’ hadronic physics is included.
