Gauge Theories in Particle Physics, Volume II: QCD and the Electroweak Theory, Third Edition: Qcd and the Electroweak Theory Vol 2 (Graduate Student Series in Physics) - Taschenbuch

This is the second volume of the third edition of a successful text, now substantially enlarged and updated to reflect developments over the last decade in the curricula of university courses and in particle physics research. Building on the foundations outlined in the first volume, this book provides a complete, accessible, and self-contained introduction to the remaining two gauge theories of the standard model of particle physics: quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and the electroweak theory. It includes two new chapters on the renormalization group and scaling violations in deep inelastic scattering and non-perturbative aspects of QCD using the lattice (path-integral) formulation of quantum field theory.
