Delving into the unification of weak and electromagnetic interactions, this book offers a comprehensive exploration of the underlying concepts in particle physics. Authored by a renowned expert and former CERN director-general, it presents the essential elements of compact Lie groups and their representations, making complex theories accessible to readers. The work stands out for its authoritative insight and detailed explanations, appealing to both students and professionals in the field.
Focusing on the foundational principles of quantum field theory, this book offers a classroom-tested approach to understanding its formal and conceptual aspects. Authored by leading figures in particle physics, it serves as an essential resource for students and educators alike, bridging complex ideas with accessible explanations. The text is designed to enhance comprehension of relativistic quantum mechanics, making it an invaluable tool for those looking to delve into this advanced area of physics.
Written by two of the world's leading experts on particle physics and the standard model - including an award-winning former Director General of CERN - this textbook provides a completely up-to-date account of relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. It describes the formal and phenomenological aspects of the standard model of particle physics, and is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying both theoretical and experimental physics.
This open access book examines key aspects of international cooperation to enhance nuclear safety, security, safeguards, and non-proliferation, thereby assisting in development and maintenance of the verification regime and fostering progress toward a nuclear weapon-free world. The book opens by addressing important political, institutional, and legal dimensions. Current challenges are discussed and attempts made to identify possible solutions and future improvements. Subsequent sections consider scientific developments that have the potential to increase the effectiveness of implementation of international regimes, particularly in critical areas, technology foresight, and the ongoing evaluation of current capabilities. The closing sections examine scientific and technical challenges and discuss the role of international cooperation and actions of the scientific community in leading the world toward peace and security. The book – which celebrates 60 years of IAEA Atoms for Peace and Development and the EURATOM Treaty – comprises contributions presented at the XX Edoardo Amaldi Conference, where eminent scientists, diplomats, and policymakers were able to compare national perspectives and update international collaborations.
