A particle-physics route into quantum field theory

Structured around lectures for third-year physics students, this text introduces the concepts and tools of relativistic quantum field theory, including perturbation theory and Feynman graphs. Its progression connects Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories with applications to QED, QCD, and the electroweak Standard Model. The electroweak chapter also covers W and Z boson phenomenology, Higgs bosons, experimental results, precision tests, and the book’s account of the Standard Model’s status. The emphasis is on theoretical foundations in particle physics, making the volume both an undergraduate-level introduction and a resource for beginning graduate study.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Third-year physics students seeking an introduction to quantum field theory.
  • Beginning graduate students focused on particle physics and its theoretical foundations.

Book overview

Based on the lectures given at TU Munich for third-year physics students, this book provides the basic concepts of relativistic quantum field theory, perturbation theory, Feynman graphs, Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories, with application to QED, QCD, and the electroweak Standard Model. It also introduces quantum field theory and particle physics for beginning graduate students with an orientation towards particle physics and its theoretical foundations. Phenomenology of W and Z bosons, as well as Higgs bosons, is part of the electroweak chapter in addition to recent experimental results, precision tests and current status of the Standard Model.
