A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This is now the third edition of a text that is already well established as one of the standard undergraduate books on the subject of elementary particle physics. Professor Hughes has updated the whole text in line with current particle nomenclature and has added material to cover important new developments. There is also a completely new major chapter on particle physics and cosmology, an exciting subject which has become an area of increasing importance in recent years. In this field much can be learnt from the way the subject developed, and so, where this helps its understanding, an historical treatment is used. At all stages the theoretical development is closely linked to the relevant experimental measurements, providing a sound foundation to what might otherwise appear as a rather abstract subject. This book will fill the need for an introductory undergraduate textbook aimed at students taking a first course in this fascinating area of modern physics.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This is an extensively revised and updated edition of a well-known undergraduate textbook on elementary particle physics. Professor Hughes has taken the opportunity to include a number of new chapters and bring the text completely up-to-date. Amongst other things, he includes details of the recent experimental evidence confirming the unification of the electromagnetic and weak interactions: the discovery of the W and Z bosons. In this field much can be learnt from the way the subject developed, and so, where this helps its understanding, the author uses an historical treatment. At all stages the theoretical development is closely linked to the relevant experimental measurements, providing a sound foundation for what might otherwise appear a rather abstract subject.
