Summary

Written for a two-semester graduate course on particle physics, this text offers a rigorous treatment of the phenomenology of particle physics that remains accessible to experimental students. It is richly illustrated and features detailed examples that link theory to experimental results, and it includes more than 100 end-of-chapter problems.

Phenomenology of Particle Physics Summary

Phenomenology of Particle Physics by Andre Rubbia (Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule Zurich)

Written for a two-semester Master's or graduate course, this comprehensive treatise intertwines theory and experiment in an original approach that covers all aspects of modern particle physics. The author uses rigorous step-by-step derivations and provides more than 100 end-of-chapter problems for additional practice to ensure that students will not only understand the material but also be able to apply their knowledge. Featuring up-to-date experimental material, including the discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN and of neutrino oscillations, this monumental volume also serves as a one-stop reference for particle physics researchers of all levels and specialties. Richly illustrated with more than 450 figures, the text guides students through all the intricacies of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory in an intuitive manner that few books achieve.

Phenomenology of Particle Physics Reviews

'This is the text I wish I had when studying advanced particle physics! Comprehensive and pedagogical, it can be adapted to most courses on the subject by selecting the relevant material. Rubbia's book will in my opinion become a valuable reference for the scientific libraries of instructors, students, and researchers.' Alessandro Cerri, University of Sussex
'This book is an ideal and complete particle physics textbook for Ph.D. students and postdocs. I have not seen any other textbook as comprehensive as this one. It addresses both the phenomenology of particle physics and quantum field theory, along with the history and experiments. It will show you how wonderful and exciting particle physics can be.' Nakaya Tsuyoshi, Kyoto University
'This textbook is excellent because it comprehensively summarizes the phenomenology and experiments of particle physics, including the latest results. When I was young, I wanted to come across a book like this.' Takaaki Kajita, University of Tokyo

About Andre Rubbia (Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule Zurich)

Andre Rubbia is a professor in experimental particle physics at ETH Zurich. After obtaining his Ph.D. in particle physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he worked on the research staff at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. His research interests include high-energy physics and, in particular, studies of neutrino properties, and he has been a primary contributor to the development of novel particle detectors. He has proposed, developed, and led several international projects in Europe, Asia, and the USA. While continuing his focus on research in particle physics, he has acquired an extended experience in teaching undergraduate and Master's-level courses.
