Alessandro Bettini (Italy Universita degli Studi di Padova)

Introduction to Elementary Particle Physics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Fully updated coverage of the basic elements of particle physics for undergraduates, including the Higgs boson discovery and other recent developments. Physics is emphasised rather than mathematical rigour and coverage of important experiments shows students how ideas developed. Over 250 problems, with solutions online, encourage students to apply the theory.

Rezensionen

'I liked the first edition very much, and used it for my classes. I like the second edition even better ... Best of all, for the current version, there are some timely additions, most notably the discovery of the Higgs boson and an expanded chapter on neutrino oscillations ... Let us hope that Run 2 at the LHC will necessitate the writing of a third edition of this wonderful book.' James W. Rohlf, CERN Courier
