Intended as an accessible and practical introduction to gauge theories, this volume discusses the main conceptual aspects, examines the practical calculations of physical quantities and offers comparisons of these quantitative predictions with experimental results.

This book will provide you with a good practical understanding of quantum electrodynamics, quantum chromodynamics and the electroweak theory, which together make up the standard model. The new edition includes over 50 diagrams showing experimental data, allowing the reader to work through calculations in the three gauge theories and compare the results with experiment.

Preface. Experimental and theoretical elements: Quarks and leptons, and the forces between them. Electromagnetism as a gauge theory. The Klein-Gordon and Dirac wave equations, and the interpretation of their negative energy solutions. Quantum field theory. The best theory we have of quantum electrodynamics: The electromagnetic interactions of spin-0 particles: forces and particle exchange processes. The electromagnetic interactions of spin-1/2 particles. Deep inelastic electron-nucleon scattering and the quark parton model. Non-Abelian gauge theory and QCD: Non-Abelian gauge theory. An introduction to quantum chromodynamics. Not quite a theory - Phenomenology of weak interactions: Introduction to weak interactions. The hadronic weak current and neutral currents. Difficulties with weak interaction phenomenology. Theory of electroweak interactions: Hidden gauge invariance - the U(1) case. The Glashow-Salam-Weinberg gauge theory of electroweak interactions. Four last things. Appendices. References. Index.
