Series Statement:
Texts and monographs in theoretical physics
Content:
This book discusses the main concepts of the Standard Model of elementary particles in a compact and straightforward way. The theoretical results are derived using the physical phenomena as a starting point. This inductive approach allows a deep understanding of the methods used for solving problems in this field. This second, revised edition is expanded with biographical notes contextualizing the main results in quantum field theory. Concise presentation of quantum field theory, now enriched by biographical notes. Combines concepts from quantum field theory and condensed matter theory to illustrate the unity of modern theoretical physics. Based in the physical phenomena.
