Summary:

This book provides a unified description of elementary particle interactions and the underlying theories, namely the Standard Model and beyond. The authors have aimed at a concise presentation but have taken care that all the basic concepts are clearly described. Written primarily for graduate students in theoretical and experimental particle physics<i>, The Physics of the Standard Model and Beyond</i> conveys the excitement of particle physics, centering upon experimental observations (new and old) and a variety of ideas for their interpretation. <br><i>Contents:</i><ul><li>Weak Interaction<
