An Introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics D. A. Greenwood, W. N. Cottingham
Publisher: Cambridge University Press




The paper reviews philosophical aspects of the Higgs mechanism as the presently preferred account of the generation of particle masses in the Standard Model of elementary particle physics and its most discussed extensions. This advanced summer school on LHC Physics will cover a broad spectrum of experimental and theoretical activity in particle physics, from the searches for the Higgs boson and physics beyond the Standard Model, to studies of Quantum Chromodynamics, the B-physics sector and The lectures and informal discussions are by recognised leaders in their field and include an introduction to the LHC itself as well as the theoretical and phenomenological framework of hadron collisions. That's what physicists at LHC are mainly looking for right now. Particle Physics – an Introduction. The Standard Model of particle physics is described by its symmetries — or the symmetry group (SU(2)xU(1)) under which matter contents transform. Since this is one of the most important discoveries . The first half of the book is a workmanlike introduction to the standard models of particle physics and of cosmology. On the 4th of July, CERN announced the discovery of a new particle that can be interpreted as the Higgs boson with both the ATLAS and CMS experiments. The Standard Model of particle physics is a theoretical description of three of the four forces which control our universe (gravity strongly resists treatment within the structure of the Standard Model). Rather than giving you a standard introduction to the modern formulation of particle physics, I am going to take a historical approach. Standard Model predicts only a single Higgs Boson. To start, we were introduced to the Standard Model of physics, a theory which identifies the set of forces (except gravity) and particles which are believed to make up the whole of the universe (with some yet to be discovered). Posted on By not including gravity, the Standard Model is effectively excluded as a candidate for the much sought after “Theory of Everything”, the ultimate goal of particle physics. So the introduction of this symmetry is very important.
