Shaw Series: Manchester Physics Series ISBN: 978-1-118-91190-7 | Jan 2017 | 528PP Previous Edition: 978-0-470-03293-0 Since the publication of the first edition, Particle Physics has become a standard introductory textbook for undergraduates, and is used in universities worldwide. After a few momentous years in the subject, this fourth edition comes as a timely update, providing an contemporary overview of fundamental physics, and the book has been revised to take into account both the discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC and recent substantial progress in neutrino physics. It also includes updates on glueballs, the strong coupling constant, quark-gluon plasmas, the status of GUT, supersymmetry, string theory, astroparticle physics, and developments in neutrino physics.
