Subtitled “QCD and the Electroweak Theory”, this is the second volume of the third edition of a highly successful textbook, which has now been substantially enlarged and updated. It builds on the foundations laid in volume 1, which led up to quantum electrodynamics, and deals with the other two gauge theories of the Standard Model: quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and electroweak theory. It includes new chapters on QCD, as well as extensions to the discussion of weak interaction phenomenology.
