It offers an accessible and practical introduction to the three gauge theories comprising the Standard Model of particle physics: quantum electrodynamics (QED), quantum chromodynamics (QCD), and the Glashow-Salam-Weinberg (GSW) electroweak theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVolume 2\u003c\/b\u003e of this updated edition covers the two non-Abelian gauge theories of QCD and the GSW theory. A distinctive feature is the extended treatment of two crucial theoretical tools: spontaneous symmetry breaking and the renormalization group. The underlying physics of these is elucidated by parallel discussions of examples from condensed matter systems: superfluidity and superconductivity, and critical phenomena. This new edition includes updates to jet algorithms, lattice field theory, CP violation and the CKM matrix, and neutrino physics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNew to the fifth edition: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eTests of the Standard Model in the Higgs and top quark sectors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe naturalness problem and responses to it going beyond the Standard Model\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Standard Model as an effective field theory\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach volume should serve as a valuable handbook for students and researchers in advanced particle physics looking for an accessible introduction to the Standard Model of particle physics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian J.
