Synopsis
This is a practical introduction to the principal ideas in gauge theory and their applications to elementary particle physics. It explains technique and methodology with simple exposition backed up by many illustrative examples. Derivations, some of well known results, are presented in sufficient detail to make the text accessible to readers entering the field for the first time. The book focuses on the strong interaction theory of quantum chromodynamics and the electroweak interaction theory of Glashow, Weinberg, and Salam, as well as the grand unification theory, exemplified by the simplest S.U.(5) model. Not intended as an exhaustive survey, the book nevertheless provides the general background necessary for a serious student who wishes to specialize in the field of elementary particle theory. Physicists with an interest in general aspects of gauge theory will also find the book highly useful.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. First Edition. EX-NCAR LIBRARY, removed from circulation and showing the usual marks and treatments thereof. Else, Very Good+: shows mild wear to the extremities; mild rubbing and faint water-droplet marks to the panels; a little sun-blanching to the blue background field of the backstrip (the gilt titles thereon remain bold and clearly legible) ; a small, faint smudge to the lower fore-edge; the expected light tanning to the text pages due to aging; the binding remains square and secure; the text is clean. Free of any creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. A handsome working copy, remaining structurally sound and tightly bound, showing a few minor cosmetic flaws. NOT a Remainder or Book-Club. 8vo (9.5 x 6.3 x 1.5 inches) . Language: English. Weight: 38.9 ounces. Oxford Internation Monographs of Physics Series. Classic Oxford Blue cloth over boards with gilt titles at the blackstrip. Hardcover. First published in 1956, this classic work by N.F. Ramsey, 1989 Nobel Laureate in Physics, provides an account of atomic and molecular structure. After an introductory section reviewing experimental apparatus and the kinds of quantities that can be measured, Ramsey provides comprehensive accounts of gas kinetics, chemical equilibria, and atomic and nuclear magnetic moments by nonresonance methods. He also provides tables of nuclear moments, as well as detailed accounts of nuclear and molecular interactions. Finally there are sections on atomic fine and hyperfine structure, and the design of experimental apparatus. The focus throughout is on the physics of beams composed of electrically neutral particles. As a seminal work by one of the world's leading scientists, this volume will interest students and researchers in a range of fields, including atomic physics, physical chemistry, spectroscopy, and biological chemistry.; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; xii, 466 pages.
