《粒子物理学中的规范理论实用导论》对粒子物理学标准模型中包含的三种规范理论——量子电动力学(QED)、量子色动力学(QCD)和Glashow-Salam-Weinberg (GSW) 电弱理论做了深入讲解。书中对每一种理论都讨论了主要的概念要点,详细介绍了从第一原理出发的物理量的许多实际计算,并将这些定量预测与实验结果进行了比较,帮助读者提高计算能力和物理洞察力。
本书是两卷集的第1卷,新版除了更新了粒子物理相关实验结果的数据,还新增了关于洛伦兹变换和离散对称的章节,介绍了对狄拉克旋量的洛伦兹变换,此外新版中还很早地就引入了马约拉纳费米子,使该材料适用于相对论量子力学的入门课程。

“Aitchison and Hey was the ‘bible’ for me as a young post-doc in the 1980s … The book has been revised regularly as the field progressed and I am delighted to see a new edition which brings it up to date to the discovery of a Higgs-like boson at the LHC in July 2012. As an experimentalist, this book helped me understand the theoretical underpinnings of my work. Its strength has always been the combination of the theory with discussion of experimental results. The new edition continues this tradition by including background on discrete symmetries … This will become a new classic.”

“This is an indispensable textbook for all particle physicists, experimentalists and theorists alike, providing an accessible exposé of the Standard Model, covering the mathematics used to describe it and some of the most important experimental results which vindicate it. As a lecturer in an advanced course on the Standard Model for experimentalists, I use the books for the more theoretical aspects and as a constant source for clear explanations of the underlying physics. I also know it to be the recommended text on numerous theoretical modules in particle physics. … these textbooks will remain on the top of a high energy physicist’s reading list for years to come.”
—Matthew Wing, University College London
“Aitchison and Hey have arrived at another winning balance … I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone learning field theory who wants to see how it is really used, why it is used, and hence to get a much better understanding of what QFT is really about.”
—T. Evans, Imperial College London
