Description
Addresses the theoretical and experimental phenomenology of particle physics for two-semester Masters and graduate courses.
About the Author
Andre Rubbia is a professor in experimental particle physics at ETH Zurich. After obtaining his Ph.D. in particle physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he worked on the research staff at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. His research interests include high-energy physics and, in particular, studies of neutrino properties, and he has been a primary contributor to the development of novel particle detectors. He has proposed, developed, and led several international projects in Europe, Asia, and the USA. While continuing his focus on research in particle physics, he has acquired an extended experience in teaching undergraduate and Master's-level courses.
Reviews
'This is the text I wish I had when studying advanced particle physics! Comprehensive and pedagogical, it can be adapted to most courses on the subject by selecting the relevant material. Rubbia's book will in my opinion become a valuable reference for the scientific libraries of instructors, students, and researchers.' Alessandro Cerri, University of Sussex
'This book is an ideal and complete particle physics textbook for Ph.D. students and postdocs. I have not seen any other textbook as comprehensive as this one. It addresses both the phenomenology of particle physics and quantum field theory, along with the history and experiments. It will show you how wonderful and exciting particle physics can be.' Nakaya Tsuyoshi, Kyoto University
'This textbook is excellent because it comprehensively summarizes the phenomenology and experiments of particle physics, including the latest results. When I was young, I wanted to come across a book like this.' Takaaki Kajita, University of Tokyo
