``Field Theory in Particle Physics'' is an introduction to the use of
relativistic field theory in particle physics. The authors explain the principal
concepts of perturbative field theory and demonstrate their application in
practical situations. The material presented in this book has been tested
extensively in courses and the book is written in a lucid and engaging style.
Many interesting problems are included at the end of each chapter, both to test
the understanding of the subject matter and to further amplify the ideas in the
text. The authors have taken great care to make their presentation as
self-contained as possible by adding several appendices.
Table of contents:
1. Classical field theory. 2. Feynman diagrams for spinless fields. 3. Cross
sections and decay rates. 4. Particles with spin one. 5. Particles with spin
one-half. 6. Cross sections for processes involving fermions. 7. Quantum
corrections. 8. Dimensional regularization and radiative corrections. 9.
Asymptotic behaviour. Appendices.
