Gauge Theories in Particle Physics: A Practical Introduction, Volume 2: Non-Abelian Gauge Theories

Revised and updated, the second volume of this bestselling set provides an accessible and practical introduction to the two non-Abelian quantum gauge field theories of the Standard Model of particle physics. Covering much of the experimental progress made in the last ten years, this volume includes a new chapter on CP violation and oscillation phenomena and discusses the recent discovery of a Higgs-like boson. It also updates many other topics, including jet algorithms, lattice QCD, effective Lagrangians, and three-generation quark mixing and the CKM matrix.
