This book describes the practical techniques for connecting
the phenomenology of particle physics with the accepted modem
theory known as the 'Standard Model'.
The Standard Model of elementary particle interactions is the
outstanding achievement of the past forty years of experimental
and theoretical activity in particle physics. This book gives a
detailed account of the Standard Model, focussing on the
techniques by which the model can produce information about real
observed phenomena. The text opens with a pedagogic account of the
theory of the Standard Model. Introdnctions to the essential
calculation techniques needed, including effective lagrangian
techniques and path integral methods, are included. The major part
of the text is concerned with the use of the Standard Model in the
calculation of physical properties of particles. Rigorous and
reliable methods (radiative corrections and nonperturbative
techniques based on symmetries and anomalies) are emphasized, but
other useful models (such as the quark and Skyrme models) are also
described. The strong and electroweak interactions are not treated
as independent threads, but rather are woven together into a
unified phenomenological fabric. Many exercises and diagrams are
included.
