Preface Part 1 Introduction Matter and light Special relativity Quantum mechanics Relativistic quantum theory Part 2 Basic particle physics The fundamental forces Symmetry in the microworld Mesons Strange particles Part 3 Strong interaction physics Resonance particles SU(3) and quarks Part 4 Weak interaction physics Ⅰ The violation of parity. Fermi's theory of the weak interactions Two neutrinos Neutral kaons and CP violation Part 5 Weak' interaction physics Ⅱ The current-current theory of the weak interactions An example leptonic process electron-neutrino scattering The weak interactions of hadrons The W boson Part 6 Gauge theory of the weak interactions Motivation for the theory Gauge theory Spontaneous symmetry breaking The Glashow-Weinberg-Salam model Consequences of the model The hunt for the W, Z bosons Part 7 Deep inelastic scattering Deep inelastic processes Electron-nucleon scattering The deep inelastic microscope Neutrino-nucleon scattering The quark model of the structure functions Part 8 Quantum chromodynamics the theory of quarks Coloured quarks Colour gauge theory Asymptotic freedom Quark confinement Part 9 Electron-positron collisions Probing the vacuum Quarks and charm Another generation Part 10 The Standard Model and beyond The Standard Model of particle physics Precision tests of the Standard Model
