Fundamentals of Particle Physics by Pascal Paganini

Fundamentals of Particle Physics by Pascal Paganini

This text is a modern introduction to the Standard Model of particle physics for graduate students and advanced undergraduate students. Assuming only prior knowledge of special relativity and non-relativistic quantum mechanics, it presents all aspects of the field, including step-by-step explanations of the theory and the most recent experimental results. Taking a pedagogical, first-principles approach, it demonstrates the essential tools for students to process and analyse experimental particle physics data for themselves. While relatively short compared to other texts, it provides enough material to be covered comfortably in a two-semester course. Some of the more technical details are given in optional supplementary boxes, while problems are provided at the end of each chapter. Written as a bridge between basic descriptive books and purely theoretical works, this text offers instructors ample flexibility to meet the needs of their courses.

Pascal Paganini is a professor at the École Polytechnique near Paris and researcher at CNRS, where he has lectured for many years on particle physics for undergraduate and graduate students. As an experimental particle physicist, he has engaged in several experiments at CERN, including the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. More recently, he has been involved in the Super-Kamiokande neutrino experiment in Japan, and designing its next-generation successor, Hyper-Kamiokande.
