Description

Introduction to Elementary Particle Physics by Alessandro Bettini provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental elements of particle physics. This textbook covers the basic principles of the Standard Model, assuming only introductory courses in nuclear physics, special relativity and quantum mechanics. The author explores key concepts such as leptons, hadrons and quarks, before delving into the dynamics and properties of the different forces. The book highlights the interplay between experiment and theory through examples of fundamental experiments, giving students a deeper understanding of how these two aspects of physics work together to advance our knowledge of the universe. The author also examines neutrino properties beyond the Standard Model, providing a thorough foundation for undergraduate students studying particle physics. This third edition has been redesigned to reflect the latest developments in the field, including recent studies on the Higgs boson and gravitational waves.
