Description
A Standard Model Workbook provides upper-level undergraduates a one-semester introduction to the Standard Model of particle physics.
Its classroom-tested workbook design offers multiple paths through the material, consisting of short chapters that provide an overview of a topic followed by opportunities for students to work out the details for themselves, concluding with homework problems to further develop students' understanding of the concepts.
This allows students to truly own the materials by working through it and allows instructors to construct an active, student-centered class.Topics include a review of special relativity and quantum mechanics; the Lagrangian mechanics of fields; some basic quantum field theory; Feynman diagrams; solutions to the Dirac equation; the U(1), SU(2), and SU(3) symmetries and their implications for electrodynamics; the electroweak theory and quantum chromodynamics; renormalization; the Higgs mechanism; fermion and neutrino masses; experimental tests and applications of the Standard Model; and a look at possibilities beyond the Standard Model.
The book is designed to offer multiple paths through the material so that instructors can choose what to emphasize.
Online "Hints and Selected Solutions" are also available, as is an online Instructor's Manual.
