Synopsis

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Meeting the need for a coherently written and comprehensive compendium combining field theory and particle physics for advanced students and researchers, this volume directly links the theory to the experiments. It is clearly divided into two sections covering approaches to field theory and the Standard Model, and rounded off with numerous useful appendices. A timely work for high energy and theoretical physicists, as well as astronomers, graduate students and lecturers in physics.

From the contents:

• Particles and Fields
• Lorentz Invariance
• Dirac Equation
• Field Quantization
• Scattering Matrix
• QED: Quantum Electrodynamics
• Radiative Corrections and Tests of Qed
• Symmetries
• Path Integral : Basics
• Path Integral Approach to Field Theory
• Accelerator and Detector Technology
• Spectroscopy
• The Quark Model
• Weak Interaction
• Neutral Kaons and CP Violation
• Hadron Structure
• Gauge Theories
• Appendices

Volume 2 (2013, ISBN 3-527-40966-1) will concentrate on the main aspects of the Standard Model by addressing its recent developments and future prospects. Furthermore, it will give some thought to intriguing ideas beyond the Standard Model, including the Higgs boson, the neutrino, the concepts of the Grand Unified Theory and supersymmetry, axions, and cosmological developments.
