About the Book
The Standard Model in a Nutshell is an accessible and concise introduction to the Standard Model of particle physics, one of the most elegant and crucial theories in modern physics. Written by Dave Goldberg, this book breaks down complex topics into manageable sections, making it easier for students to grasp even if they are new to the subject.
The book employs a "just-in-time" approach to gradually build understanding, starting with essential concepts such as relativity and group theory, before progressing to more advanced topics like quantum mechanics, the Higgs boson, and physics beyond the Standard Model. Goldberg emphasizes clarity, using numerous worked examples, illustrations, and over 120 exercises to reinforce key concepts.
Ideal for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in physics and related disciplines, this book is perfect for a one-semester course or independent study. The conversational tone and structured approach make the material more approachable, and the text also includes suggestions for further research on unresolved questions in particle physics.
This comprehensive guide serves as an invaluable resource for students looking to understand the foundation and future of the Standard Model in modern physics.
