Electroweak Interactions

Written by an award-winning former director-general of CERN and one of the world's leading experts on particle physics. Electro weak Interactions explores the concepts that led to unification of the weak and electromagnetic interactions. It provides the fundamental elements of the theory of compact Lie groups and their representations, enabling a basic understanding of the role of flavor symmetry in particle physics. Features, Connects important theoretical ideas to key experimental results, which motivates the introduction of gauge theories, Provides fully worked out applications to topical electrodynamic and weak interaction processes, Presents a complete discussion of quark flavor mixing, including Cabibbo theory, GIM mechanism, and the Kobayashi-Maskawa theory of CP violation, Includes an advanced discussion of CP violation and flavor-changing neutral current processes, Outlines group theory and its basic applications to particle physics, such as reducible and irreducible representations, the Clebsch-Gordan series, and the Wigner-Eckart theorem Book jacket.
