When symmetries are present the solution of almost any physical problem is simplified,
because we can get at the properties of a system without completely solving all the …

An understanding of the properties and interactions of the elementary particles is an
essential prerequisite of research work in high energy physics. Much progress in the subject …

Before we talk about what we can derive from symmetry, let's clarify what we need to put into
the theories by hand. First of all, there is presently no theory that is able to derive the …

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Following the discovery of the Higgs
boson, Frank Close has produced this major revision to his classic and compelling …

The purpose of this textbook is to explain the Standard Model of particle physics to a student
with an undergraduate preparation in physics. Today we can claim to have a fundamental …

We propose a model of a confining dark sector, dark technicolor, that communicates with the
Standard Model (SM) through the Higgs portal. In this model electroweak (EW) symmetry …

Intended for beginning graduate students or advanced undergraduates, this text provides a
thorough introduction to the phenomena of high-energy physics and the Standard Model of …

This classic, the first of three volumes, presents techniques that emphasize the unity of high-
energy particle physics with electrodynamics, gravitational theory, and many-particle …

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 …
