Unique in its coverage of all aspects of modern particle physics this textbook provides a
clear connection between the theory and recent experimental results including the discovery of
the Higgs boson at CERN. It provides a comprehensive and self-contained description of the
Standard Model of particle physics suitable for upper-level undergraduate students and graduate
students studying experimental particle physics. Physical theory is introduced in a
straightforward manner with full mathematical derivations throughout. Fully-worked examples
enable students to link the mathematical theory to results from modern particle physics
experiments. End-of-chapter exercises graded by difficulty provide students with a deeper
understanding of the subject. Online resources available at www.cambridge.org MPP feature
password-protected fully-worked solutions to problems for instructors numerical solutions and
hints to the problems for students and PowerPoint slides and JPEGs of figures from the book.
