{"product_id":"9781400839353","title":"Elementary Particle Physics in a Nutshell","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe new experiments underway at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland may significantly change our understanding of elementary particle physics and, indeed, the universe. This textbook provides a cutting-edge introduction to the field, preparing first-year graduate students and advanced undergraduates to understand and work in LHC physics at the dawn of what promises to be an era of experimental and theoretical breakthroughs.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e Christopher Tully, an active participant in the work at the LHC, explains some of the most recent experiments in the field. But this book, which emerged from a course at Princeton University, also provides a comprehensive understanding of the subject. It explains every elementary particle physics process--whether it concerns nonaccelerator experiments, particle astrophysics, or the description of the early universe--as a gauge interaction coupled to the known building blocks of matter. Designed for a one-semester course that is complementary to a course in quantum field theory, the book gives special attention to high-energy collider physics, and includes a detailed discussion of the state of the search for the Higgs boson.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eIntroduces elementary particle processes relevant to astrophysics, collider physics, and the physics of the early universe \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eCovers experimental methods, detectors, and measurements \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eFeatures a detailed discussion of the Higgs boson search \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eIncludes many challenging exercises \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e Professors: A supplementary Instructor's Manual which provides solutions for Chapters 1-3 of the textbook, is available as a PDF.
