Kenyon, I

This book is an introduction to particle and nuclear physics. The book takes a new approach, purposely avoiding the historical outline and concentrating on the 'standard model' and the gauge symmetries, because these form the core of the subject. Leptons, quarks and forces are introduced first, then experimental techniques. After this introduction gauge theories are dealt with in order of increasing complexity. Deep inelastic scattering of hadrons, hadron spectroscopy and finally hadron interactions are then discussed. Current developments beyond the standard model appear in the final chapter.
