The Standard Model and Beyond Paul Langacker The Standard Model and Beyond presents an advanced introduction to the physics and formalism of the standard model and other non-abelian gauge field theories. Thoroughly covering gauge field theories, symmetries, and topics beyond the standard model, this text equips readers with the tools to understand the structure and phenomenological consequences of the standard model, to construct extensions, and to perform calculations at tree level. It establishes the necessary background for readers to carry out more advanced research in particle physics. Features: • Covers the fundamental interactions • Describes the construction, experimental tests, and phenomenological consequences of the standard model • Presents a self-contained treatment of the complicated technology needed for tree-level calculations • Explores applications in astrophysics and cosmology • Lists many useful reference books, review articles, research papers, and Web links • Offers supplementary materials on the author's Web site.
