The Ideas of Particle Physics
  • 4th edition
  • James E. Dodd, Ben Gripaios
  • Published online:

  • This book is a comprehensive introduction to particle physics, bridging the gap between traditional textbooks on the subject and popular accounts that assume little background knowledge. This fourth edition is fully revised, including the most recent ideas and discoveries, and the latest avenues of research. The development of the subject is traced from the foundations of quantum mechanics and relativity, through the formulation of quantum field theories, to the standard model. Research now continues with the first signs of physics beyond the standard model and with the formulation of modern string theory which aims to include a quantum theory of gravity for the first time. This book is intended for anyone with a background in physical sciences who wishes to learn about particle physics. It is also valuable to students of physics wishing to gain an introductory overview of the subject.

  • This modern introduction to particle physics equips students with the skills needed to develop a deep and intuitive understanding of the physical theory underpinning contemporary experimental results. The fundamental tools of particle physics are introduced and accompanied by historical profiles charting the development of the field. Theory and experiment are closely linked, with descriptions of experimental techniques used at CERN accompanied by detail on the physics of the Large Hadron Collider and the strong and weak forces that dominate proton collisions. Recent experimental results are featured, including the discovery of the Higgs boson. Equations are supported by physical interpretations, and end-of-chapter problems are based on datasets from a range of particle physics experiments including dark matter, neutrino, and collider experiments. A solutions manual for instructors is available online. Additional features include worked examples throughout, a detailed glossary of key terms, appendices covering essential background material, and extensive references and further reading to aid self-study, making this an invaluable resource for advanced undergraduates in physics.

  • Summary

    After the long investigations presented in Chapters 8–11, we will be able to collect various lessons and thereby gain a grand picture of how theSM facesthe data in 2019. In particular it will be important to collect possible deviations from its predictions, which these days carry the name of anomalies. This willshowus that indeed the SM has significant difficulties in describing all the flavor data simultaneously. Not all of these anomalies are still fully convincing because of theoretical and experimental uncertainties, but they give us strong motivations for making an important step toward the identification of N,P which could be responsible for them.

  • Summary

    We will next go beyond the SM. It will be strategically useful to present first the general structure of effective Hamiltonians beyond the SM and identify new operators that are absent in the SM. This chapter will deal with physics at the electroweak scale and below it as we already encountered in previous chapters but now particular emphasis will be put on new operatorsgenerated by some NP at much higher scale that at the electroweak scale, and below it they will contribute to various processes. What will be discussed here is the low-energy effective theory that carries the name LEFT to distinguish it from the effective theory discussed in the next chapter. Here the basic symmetries for finding possible operators is simply the product SU(3)*U(1), that are the symmetries of QCD and QED. Simply the color and electric charges have to be conserved.
