An Introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics familiarizes readers with what is considered tested and accepted and in so doing, gives them a grounding in particle physics in general. Whenever possible, Dr. Mann takes an historical approach showing how the model is linked to the physics that most of us have learned in less challenging.
Particle physics was in a near-continual state of flux for several decades, finally settling down around the mid 1990s when the mass of the Z boson had been accurately measured, the number of light quarks and leptons had been established, and the top quark had been discovered. The Standard Model has since then faced pretty much every experimental challenge to its authority with flying colors, and today it stands as the established fundamental theoryof the non-gravitational interactions, describing all known forms of subatomic matter that we have observed.
