Introduction to
Elementary Particles
By:
David
Griffiths
E- Book
This is
the first quantitative treatment of elementary
particle theory that is accessible to
undergraduates. Using a lively, informal writing
style, the author strikes a balance between
quantitative rigor and intuitive understanding.
The first chapter provides a detailed historical
introduction to the subject. Subsequent chapters
offer a consistent and modern presentation,
covering the quark model, Feynman diagrams,
quantum electrodynamics, and gauge theories. A
clear introduction to the Feynman rules, using a
simple model, helps readers learn the
calculational techniques without the
complications of spin. And an accessible
treatment of QED shows how to evaluate
tree-level diagrams. Contains an abundance of
worked examples and many end-of-chapter
problems.
