O melhor livro de física de partículas que já vi. Apesar de introdutório, é muito detalhado na parte matemática. Não exige conhecimento profundo de mecânica quântica. Aliás, há uma boa revisão de conceitos fundamentais, o que faz o livro bem autocontido. Considero superior ao (também excelente) livro do Griffits. Não exige conhecimento prévio de teoria quântica de campos. Aliás, serve até de uma boa introdução ao tema. Ler este livro vai te facilitar muito o estudo de um livro de teoria qântica de campos como o de Peskin e Schroeder. Quanto ao livro, fisicamente, a qualidade do material, papel e impressão são excelentes. Pode comprar sem receio, você não vai se arrepender. Read more

Très bon livre pédagogique où un certain nombre de démonstrations sont détaillées et expliquées. Je recommande ce livre. Read more

The author writes that this book is based on a final-year undergraduate lecture course that he gave at the University of Cambridge and that the only prerequisites are quantum mechanics and special relativity. I would say that this is definitely true and the author succeeding in writing a particle physics book for such an audience. This book is a great book, well-suited for final-year undergraduate physics students or introductory graduate physics students. It is definitely not the most rigorous book on particle physics with sophisticated discussions on quantum fields. This book should be used as an introduction to the Standard Model, where one learns what the Standard Model is about and how to do some scattering calculations. This book also discusses important particle physics experiments much more than, say, David Griffith's particle physics textbook. If you are interested in not just learning the theory and like to read about the key experiments that relate to the theory, this book is a good introduction. However, the derivation of the Feynman rules is only briefly discussed and the derivation is sketched. You will need to read a more advanced textbook if you want a rigorous discussion of the Feynman rules. But there are plenty of books for more advanced topics, so this shouldn't be viewed as a problem with this textbook. Overall, this book achieves the goals that the author had in mind and if you fall under the intended audience then I think you will enjoy the book. Read more

Excellent book of elementary particle physics, suitable for those who already have a solid knowledge of quantum mechanics and special relativity. It explains complicated concepts extremely clearly, writing all the details of the calculation, while it is concise when needed. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the topic. Read more
