Professor Hughes has updated the whole text in line with current particle nomenclature and has added material to cover important new developments. There is also a completely new major chapter on particle physics and cosmology, an exciting subject which has become an area of increasing importance in recent years. In this field much can be learnt from the way the subject developed, and so, where this helps its understanding, an historical treatment is used. At all stages the theoretical development is closely linked to the relevant experimental measurements, providing a sound foundation to what might otherwise appear as a rather abstract subject. This book will fill the need for an introductory undergraduate textbook aimed at students taking a first course in this fascinating area of modern physics.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAccelerators, beams and detectors\u003cbr\u003e Pions and muons\u003cbr\u003e Conservation laws\u003cbr\u003e Strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions\u003cbr\u003e Strange particles\u003cbr\u003e Spin and parity of the K-mesons and non-conservation of parity in weak interactions\u003cbr\u003e Weak interactions: basic ideas\u003cbr\u003e Invariance under the CP and T operations, properties of Ko-mesons\u003cbr\u003e Strongly-decaying resonances\u003cbr\u003e SU (3) and the quark model: classification and dynamic probes\u003cbr\u003e Weak interactions and weak-electromagnetic unification\u003cbr\u003e New flavours\u003cbr\u003e Quark and gluon interactions\u003cbr\u003e Higher symmetries\u003cbr\u003e Particle physics and cosmology\u003cbr\u003e Appendices\u003cbr\u003e References\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Particle \u0026amp; high-energy physics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Particle \u0026amp; high-energy physics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Particle%20\u0026amp;%20high-energy%20physics%20%5BPHP%5D%22\"\u003ePHP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46004213055768,"sku":"9780521407397","price":46.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521407397i_960aa96b-9d67-4d0f-9954-7c362f3f3c7d.jpg?v=1691381236","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/elementary-particles-paperback-9780521407397","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
