introduction to elementary particle phenomenology
1 online resource (various pagings) : illustrations (some color).
This book deals with the development of particle physics, in particular an area that has now become known as phenomenology. The author presents a solid and clear motivation for the developments witnessed by the particle physics community at both high and low energies over that last 50 or 60 years. Including exercises and references to original experimental and theoretical papers, as well as other useful sources, it will be essential reading for all students and researchers in modern particle physics.
Preface -- Author biography -- Glossary of acronyms -- Introduction -- Symmetries : discrete and continuous -- Hadronic physics : the quark-parton model -- The new particles : discovery and study -- The standard model and beyond : where we are and where we are going -- Appendix A. Quantum mechanics -- Appendix B. Scattering theory.
Advanced students and researchers in the fields of experimental, phenomenological and theoretical particle physics.

Born in Great Britain, Philip G. Ratcliffe completed his early schooling in England, obtaining his first degree in theoretical physics from Trinity College (University of Cambridge) and his PhD from the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste, Italy. He has been research assistant at Cambridge and London universities and researcher with the INFN Milan and Turin sections. In 1996 he moved to the School of Sciences in Como, at the University of Insubria, to take up a permanent position as an Assistant Professor in Theoretical Physics. There in 2002 he became Associate Professor of Nuclear and Subnuclear Physics. His research activities regard elementary particle physics theory and phenomenology and he has spent periods visiting such institutions and laboratories as CERN, MIT, SLAC, Fermilab, BNL, INT (Seattle) and the University of Paris.
