Quantum field theory and the standard model science journal

Matthew D Schwartz is an Associate Professor of Physics at Harvard University He is one of the worlds leading experts on quantum field theory and its applications to the Standard Model Matthew D Schwartz is an Associate Professor of Physics at Harvard University He is one of the world s leading experts on quantum field theory and its applications to the Standard Model site_link Providing a comprehensive introduction to quantum field theory this textbook covers the development of particle physics from its foundations to the discovery of the Higgs boson Its combination of clear physical explanations with direct connections to experimental data and mathematical rigor make the subject accessible to students with a wide variety of backgrounds and interests Assuming only an undergraduate level understanding of quantum mechanics the book steadily develops the Standard Model and state of the art calculation techniques It includes multiple derivations of many important results with modern methods such as effective field theory and the renormalization group playing a prominent role Numerous worked examples and end of chapter problems enable students to reproduce classic results and to master quantum field theory as it is used today Based on a course taught by the author over many years this book is ideal for an introductory to advanced quantum field theory sequence or for independent study Quantum Field Theory and the Standard ModelProbably the best book out there on QFT Maths and physical insights are both present here with great clarify in the spectrum of QFT books I d put this right between Peskin s and Zee s I recommended this book to my graduate students for a QFT course I gave 2 years ago Hardcover
