Synopsis

The aim of this book on particle physics is to present the theory in a simple way. The style and organization of the material is unique in that intuition is employed, not formal theory or the Monte Carlo method. This volume attempts to be more physical and less abstract than other texts without degenerating into a presentation of data without interpretation.This book is based on four courses of lectures conducted at Fermilab. It should prove very useful to advanced undergraduates and graduate students.

About the Author

Dan Green received his PhD from the University of Rochester in 1969. He was a research associate at Stony Brook from 1969 to 1972 and an assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon University from 1972-1978. As a staff scientist at Fermilab since 1979, he has worked on the Fermilab MPS, E580 and E623 (spokesperson). He also worked on DO experiment and was Muon Group leader from 1982 to 1990. He continues on DO as B Physics Group co-convener. Dr Green has recently been involved in SSC physics and is an SDC deputy spokesperson. He was head of the Research Division Facilities Support Group from 1982 to 1984, deputy head of the Fermilab Physics Department from 1984 to 1986 and department head from 1986 to 1990. Since 1990 he has been head of the SDC Department in the Research Division.

Review

"Lectures in Particle Physics has a number of positive features that would make it most suitable as a supplemental text in an introductory (or even advanced) course in particle physics ... the development of the constituent quark model in the first section is clear and concise ... The section on B physics includes an excellent summary of both the origin and present knowledge of the CKM (Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa) matrix." -- Alexander Firestone, Physics Today, 1995
