Electroweak theory.


DE2001784268

Publication Date 2001
Personal Author Quigg, C.
Page Count 130
Abstract After a short essay on the current state of particle physics, the author reviews the antecedents of the modern picture of the weak and electromagnetic interactions and then undertakes a brief survey of the SU(2)(sub L) (circle-times) U(1)(sub Y) electroweak theory. The author reviews the features of electroweak phenomenology at tree level and beyond, presents an introduction to the Higgs boson and the 1-TeV scale, and examines arguments for enlarging the electroweak theory. The author concludes with a brief look at low-scale gravity.
