Electroweak and Strong Interaction: An Introduction toTheoretical Particle Physics begins with relativistic quantum mechanics, which lays the foundation for the rest of the text. The phenomenology and the physics of fundamental interactions are emphasized through a detailed discussion of the empirical fundamentals of unified theories of strong, electromagnetic, and weak interactions. The principles of local gauge theories are described. The minimal standard model of the fundamental interactions is developed and characteristic applications are worked out. Possible signals of physics beyond that model and the theory of interactions of elementary particles probing complex nuclei are also discussed. Numerous exercises with solutions make the text suitable for advanced courses.
