Summary

The field of High Energy Physics is experiencing a strong renaissance for several reasons: one, the advent of the new Large Hadron Collider at CERN in geneva, along with unprecedented computing power for theoretical computations; second, new telescopes in astronomy to investigate high energy events in space. Besides existing and established texts and MRW, a coherently written and comprehensive compendium bridging the gap between texts on field theory and particle physics is needed, but lacking so far. This book fills this gap.

Author Biography

Yorikiyo Nagashima is Professor Emeritus at the Department of Physics of Osaka University, Japan. An organizer of international conferences, he is also a member of the most important collaboration groups in his field of expertise, including those related to neutrino research. Professor Nagashima was the spokesman of the VENUS group, one of the major detectors of the Japanese first collider accelerator TORISTAN, where he served the first and second term at the start of the project. Professor Nagashima has authored or co-authored 296 papers, some of them cited up to 250 times.
