Description
Quantum Field Theory by Franz Mandl and Graham Shaw is an introduction to quantum field theory for final year physics students and postgraduate researchers. This comprehensive textbook covers the basic physics and formalism of quantum field theory, as well as gauge theories that play a central role in elementary particle physics. The book is divided into three main sections: Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) in the canonical formalism, gauge theories, and quantum chromodynamics and electroweak interactions. New to this edition are five additional chapters on path integrals and the renormalization group, providing a deeper understanding of quantum chromodynamics. With its clear explanations and practical applications, Quantum Field Theory is an essential resource for anyone looking to understand the principles of quantum field theory and their application in particle physics research.
