內容大鋼
本書提供了標準模型和其他非阿貝爾規範理論的物理和形式主義的高級介紹。它為理解超對稱、弦論、額外維度、動力學對稱破缺和宇宙學提供了堅實的背景。除了更新第一版的所有實驗和唯象結果外，它還包含了對撞機物理的新章節；對希格斯粒子、中微子和暗物質物理學的進一步討論；還有許多新問題。
這本書首先回顧了場論中的計算技術和量子電動力學的現狀。然後重點討論全局和局部對稱性以及非阿貝爾規範理論的構造。對量子色動力學、對撞機物理、弱電相互作用和理論以及中微子質量和混合物理的結構和測試進行了深入的探索。最後一章討論了擴展標準模型的動機，並考察了超對稱性、擴展規範群和大統一。
本文全面涵蓋規範場理論、對稱性和標準模型之外的主題，為讀者提供了理解標準模型的結構和唯象後果、構造擴展以及在樹級執行計算的工具。它為讀者在粒子物理學方面進行更深入的研究奠定了必要的背景。
