This textbook provides a cutting-edge introduction to the field, preparing first-year graduate students and advanced undergraduates to understand and work in LHC physics at the dawn of what promises to be an era of experimental and theoretical breakthroughs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChristopher Tully, an active participant in the work at the LHC, explains some of the most recent experiments in the field. But this book, which emerged from a course at Princeton University, also provides a comprehensive understanding of the subject. It explains every elementary particle physics process--whether it concerns nonaccelerator experiments, particle astrophysics, or the description of the early universe--as a gauge interaction coupled to the known building blocks of matter. Designed for a one-semester course that is complementary to a course in quantum field theory, the book gives special attention to high-energy collider physics, and includes a detailed discussion of the state of the search for the Higgs boson.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces elementary particle processes relevant to astrophysics, collider physics, and the physics of the early universe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers experimental methods, detectors, and measurements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures a detailed discussion of the Higgs boson search\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes many challenging exercises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessors: A supplementary Instructor's Manual which provides solutions for Chapters 1-3 of the textbook, is available as a PDF.
