An Introduction to Gauge Theories

ISBN: 9781498734516 出版年：2017 页码：321 Cabibbo, Nicola Maiani, Luciano Benhar, Omar CRC Press

Written by world-leading experts in particle physics, this new book from Luciano Maiani and Omar Benhar, with contributions from the late Nicola Cabibbo, is based on Feynmanpath integrals. Key elements of gauge theories are describedeynman diagrams, gauge-fixing, Faddeev-Popov ghostss well as renormalization in Quantum Electrodynamics. Quarks and QCD interactions are introduced. Renormalization group and high momentum behaviour of the coupling constants is discussed in QED and QCD, with asymptotic freedom derived at one-loop. These concepts are related to the Higgs boson and models of grand unification. "an excellent introduction to the quantum theory of gauge fields and their applications to particle physics. It will be an excellent book for the serious student and a good reference for the professional practitioner. Let me add that, scattered through the pages, we can find occasional traces of Nicola Cabibbo's style."ohn Iliopoulos, CNRS-Ecole Normale Superieure " ?The volume ends with an illuminating description of the expectation generated by the recent discovery of the Higgs boson, combined with the lack of evidence for super-symmetric particles in the mass range 0.6-1 TeV."rturo Menchaca-Rocha, FinstP, Professor of Physics, MexicoNational Autonomous University, Former President of the Mexican Academy of Sciences, Presidential Advisor "he reader is masterfully guided through the subtleties of the quantum field theory and elementary particle physics from simple examples in Quantum Mechanics to salient details of modern theory."ikhail Voloshin, Professor of Physics, University of Minnesota
