Techniques and Concepts of High Energy Physics X by Thomas Ferbel, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

This volume contains material on various important aspects of particle physics. Theoretical subjects include a formulation of gauge theories and the standard model, issues in quantum chromodynamics, and hard diffraction. CP violation and quark mixing, rare and exotic decays, and quantitative tests of the standard model are represented from a phenomenological view point. Silicon detectors, methods in calorimetry, latest developments in accelerator science, and the challenges of the LHC at CERN are treated from an experimenter's perspective. Papers on neutrino physics and particle physics in the early universe complete the panoramic sweep of the field. Problems are included to test the reader's understanding of the subject matter. Audience: The material is designed for advanced graduate students and recent Ph. D. recipients in experimental particle physics. It will also be of value to a wider audience of physicists. | Techniques and Concepts of High Energy Physics X by Thomas Ferbel, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
