Summary

Particle Physicsis the first book to connect theory and experiment in particle physics. Duncan Carlsmith provides the first accessible exposition of the standard model with sufficient mathematical depth to demystify the language of gauge theory and Feynman diagrams used by researchers in the field. Carlsmith also connects theories to past, present, and future experiments.

Author Biography

Duncan Carlsmith is a professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, with over 20 years of teaching and research experience. He has authored more than 400 scientific papers and is a member of two forefront collaborations in elementary particle physics: the Collider Detector Facility (CDF) collaboration at Fermilab in Illinois, and the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland.
