Synopsis

The topics of nuclear physics, particle physics and cosmology are closely connected. As the second volume of a two-volume set, this book covers particle physics and cosmology. Chapters exploring particle physics describe the standard model of particle physics and deal with the classification of the many sub- nuclear particles and forces of nature while introducing the various advances in the field.

Relativistic quantum mechanics, quantum field theory and group theory are explored and the dynamics of the universe are described. Components of the universe are additionally discussed.

This course text follows a simple style, with a lucid approach and step-by-step explanations. Every effort has been made to describe things clearly and care has been taken to provide illustrations wherever applicable.

• Written as a self-contained, self-help book
• Contains theory, problems and solutions (numeral type, MCQ type, critical type)
• Written in an accessible style
• Various applications pertaining to various fields of particle physics and cosmology are considered
