Advanced Particle Physics Volume II

Helping readers understand the complicated laws of nature, this volume explains the calculations, experimental procedures, and measuring methods of particle physics, particularly quantum chromodynamics (QCD). It presents the technique of renormalization in QCD and discusses the status of current QCD experiments. The book also explores physics beyond the Standard Model and describes how solar and atmospheric neutrinos are detected and analyzed. Along with a host of references at the end of each section, the book includes all necessary derivations and calculations and offers numerous application examples.
