商品描述

The Standard Model of particle physics is an amazingly successful theory describing the fundamental particles and forces of nature. This text, written for a two-semester graduate course on the Standard Model, develops a practical understanding of the theoretical concepts it's built upon, to prepare students to enter research. The author takes a historical approach to demonstrate to students the process of discovery which is often overlooked in other textbooks, presenting quantum field theory and symmetries as the necessary tools for describing and understanding the Standard Model. He develops these tools using a basic understanding of quantum mechanics and classical field theory, such as Maxwell's electrodynamics, before discussing the important role that Noether's theorem and conserved charges play in the theory. Worked examples feature throughout the text, while homework exercises are included for the first five parts, with solutions available online for instructors. Inspired by the author's own teaching experience, suggestions for independent research topics have been provided for the second-half of the course, which students can then present to the rest of the class.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

粒子物理學的標準模型是一個非常成功的理論,描述了自然界的基本粒子和力量。這本書是為了一個兩學期的研究生課程而寫的,旨在培養學生對標準模型的理論概念有實際的理解,以便他們進入研究領域。作者以歷史的方式來展示給學生們發現過程,這在其他教科書中常常被忽視,並將量子場論和對稱性作為描述和理解標準模型的必要工具。他使用對量子力學和經典場論(如麥克斯韋電動力學)的基本理解來發展這些工具,然後討論諾特定理和守恆荷在理論中的重要作用。書中包含了許多實例,並為前五部分提供了作業練習,教師可以在線上找到解答。受到作者自己的教學經驗的啟發,書中還提供了獨立研究主題的建議,供課程的後半部分使用,學生可以向其他同學展示他們的研究成果。
