Description
The Ideas of Particle Physics by James E. Dodd and Ben Gripaios provides a comprehensive introduction to particle physics, bridging the gap between traditional textbooks and popular accounts. This fourth edition is fully revised to include the latest ideas and discoveries in the field. From the foundations of quantum mechanics and relativity, the book explores the development of quantum field theories and the standard model. Research continues to push beyond the standard model, with modern string theory aiming to incorporate a quantum theory of gravity for the first time. This book is ideal for those with a background in physical sciences looking to learn about particle physics or seeking an introductory overview. Suitable for students of physics, this book offers a valuable introduction to the subject and its latest developments.
