This book provides a unified description of elementary particle interactions and the underlying theories, namely the Standard Model and beyond. The authors have aimed at a concise presentation but have taken care that all the basic concepts are clearly described. Written primarily for graduate students in theoretical and experimental particle physics, The Physics of the Standard Model and Beyond conveys the excitement of particle physics, centering upon experimental observations (new and old) and a variety of ideas for their interpretation.

Readership: Graduate students, experimentalists and theorists in high energy physics.
“This book is basically well written — presenting its subject matter with a reasonable compromise between discursiveness and conciseness … this is a very recommendable textbook which graduate schools would do well to suggest to their students, and which senior physicists may also find helpful.”
