Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model

Fülszöveg

"Once in a generation particle physicists elevate a quantum field theory text to the rank of classic. Two such classics are the texts by Bjorken and Drell and Peskin and Schroeder; it wouldn't surprise me if this new book by Schwartz joins this illustrious group." Mark Wise, California Institute of Technology
"A wonderful tour of quantum field theory from the modern perspective, filled with insights on both the conceptual underpinnings and the concrete, elegant calculational tools of the subject."
Nima Arkani-Hamed, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton
"Schwartz has produced a new and valuable introduction to quantum field theory. He has rethought the whole presentation of the subject, from the introductory and foundational concepts to new developments such as effective field theory descriptions of quark dynamics." Michael E. Peskin, SMC, Stanford

"Schwartz's book grew out of a popular year-long course in quantum field theory at Harvard That the book is neither superficial nor impossibly dense is rather remarkable and makes it easy to understand the course's success." Howard Georgi, Harvard University
"In this book, Schwartz gives a thoughtful and modern treatment of many classical and contemporary topics. Students and experienced researchers will find much here of value." Edward Witten, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton
Providing a modern introduction to quantum field theory, this comprehensive textbook develops the Standard Model of particle physics and explains state-of-the-art techniques for performing precision theoretical calculations.
Intuitive physical discussions of abstract concepts make quantum field theory accessible to students from a variety of backgrounds and interests. Provides complete coverage, from quantum electrodynamics to the discovery of the Higgs boson.
Modern approaches, such as renormalization group methods and effective field theory, play a prominent role. Assumes only an undergraduate-level understanding of quantum mechanics. Numerous worked examples and end-of-chapter problems enable students to reproduce classic results and to master quantum field theory. Vissza
