An essential introduction to particle physics, with coverage ranging from
the basics through to the very latest developments, in an accessible and
carefully structured text.

Particle Physics: Third Edition is a revision of a highly regarded
introduction to particle physics. In its two previous editions this book
has proved to be an accessible and balanced introduction to modern particle
physics, suitable for those students needed a more comprehensive
introduction to the subject than provided by the .compendium. style physics
books.

In the Third Edition the standard model of particle physics is carefully
developed whilst unnecessary mathematical formalism is avoided where possible.
Emphasis is placed on the interpretation of experimental data in terms of
the basic properties of quarks and leptons.

One of the major developments of the past decade has been the establishing
of the existence of neutrino oscillations. This will have a profound effect
on the plans of experimentalists. This latest edition brings the text
fully up-to-date, and includes new sections on neutrino physics, as well
as expanded coverage of detectors, such as the LHC detector.

* End of chapter problems with a full set of hints for their solutions
provided at the end of the book.
* An accessible and carefully structured introduction to this demanding
subject.
* Includes more advanced material in optional .starred. sections.
* Coverage of the foundations of the subject, as well as the very latest
developments.
