Synopsis

Taking into account recent experimental progress, this revised and updated edition of a classic textbook provides an accessible and practical introduction to the three gauge theories included in the Standard Model of particle physics: quantum electrodynamics (QED), quantum chromodynamics (QCD), and the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam (GWS) electroweak theory. For each theory, the authors discuss the main conceptual points, detail many practical calculations of physical quantities from first principles, and compare these quantitative predictions with experimental results. The text emphasizes the development of both calculation skills and physical insight.

Review

Aitchison and Hey have arrived at another winning balance ... I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone learning field theory who wants to see how it is really used, why it is used, and hence to get a much better understanding of what QFT is really about.
-Dr. T. Evans, University of London, Contemporary Physics, Volume 45
