  • The third edition of this successful textbook has been redesigned to reflect the progress of the field in the last decade, including the latest studies of the Higgs boson, quark–gluon plasma, progress in flavour and neutrino physics and the discovery of gravitational waves. It provides undergraduate students with complete coverage of the basic elements of the Standard Model of particle physics, assuming only introductory courses in nuclear physics, special relativity and quantum mechanics. Examples of fundamental experiments are highlighted before discussions of the theory, giving students an appreciation of how experiment and theory interplay in the development of physics. The author examines leptons, hadrons and quarks, before presenting the dynamics and the surprising properties of the charges of the different forces, concluding with a discussion on neutrino properties beyond the Standard Model. This title is also available as open access on Higher Education from Cambridge University Press.

  • Summary

    We discuss the foundations of general relativity and all modern gravitational theories, based on the Einstein Equivalence Principle (EEP). We show that this principle is the basis for all metric theories of gravity including general relativity, in which gravity is a consequence of spacetime geometry. We review experimental test of the three pieces of EEP, the Weak Equivalence Principle, Local Lorentz Invariance and Local Position Invariance, and describe a number of general theoretical frameworks used to analyse EEP and its consequences.
