Electroweak Theory

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is a concise introduction to the structure of the electroweak theory and its applications. It describes the structure and properties of field theories with global and local symmetries, leading to the standard model. This title from 2007 has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.
