| Description | | - Long awaited companion to Cheng & Li Textbook
- Urgent Need. There is no such book available
- All topics, including some novelties, introduced in a plain and accessible way
- Balanced presentation between formal structure and applications
| | Students of particle physics often find it difficult to locate resources to learn calculational techniques. Intermediate steps are usually not given in the research literature. To a certain extent, this is the case even in some of the established textbooks. In this book of worked problems enough details are provided so that the beginner will understand the solution in each particular case. With
this step-by-step guidance, students (after first attempting the solution themselves) can develop their skills and confidence in their ability to work out particle theory problems. Besides being a problems/solutions addition to the well established textbook by Cheng & Li, this book introduces several new topics. It provides the reader with a self-contained approach to the subject, suitable even
for those not familiar with the textbook. All problems have been given a descriptive title, enabling the reader to select according to his preferences. |
Readership: Primary: Graduate students and research theorists in particle physics, astrophysics, nuclear physics and mathematical physics. Secondary: High energy experimentalists, undergraduate students interested in particle physics, mathematicians.
