20. Introduction to the Phenomenology of Weak Interactions21. CP Violation and Oscillation Phenomena; 22. The Glashow-Salam-Weinberg Gauge Theory of Electroweak Interactions; M. Group Theory; N. Geometrical Aspects of Gauge Fields; O. Dimensional Regularization; P. Grassmann Variables; Q. Feynman Rules for Tree Graphs in QCD and the Electroweak Theory; References
Volume 2 of this revised and updated edition provides an accessible and practical introduction to the two non-Abelian quantum gauge field theories of the Standard Model of particle physics: quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and the Glashow-Salam-Weinberg (GSW) electroweak theory. This volume covers much of the experimental progress made in the last ten years. A new chapter on CP violation and oscillation phenomena describes CP violation in B-meson decays as well as the main experiments that have led to our current knowledge of mass-squared differences and mixing angles in neutrino physics. Exploring a new era in particle physics, this edition discusses one of the most recent and exciting breakthroughs—the discovery of a boson with properties consistent with those of the Standard Model Higgs boson. It also updates many other topics, including jet algorithms, lattice QCD, effective Lagrangians, and three-generation quark mixing and the CKM matrix.
