Schema della sezione

  • Books on the Standard Model

    • Grossman & Nir - The Standard Model

      The main reference in terms of how the course will be structured. Also available online in a pre-publication version https://www.classe.cornell.edu/~yuvalg/GNB/GNB-master-03302022.pdf
    • Marco Fabbrichesi - The Standard Model
      a different way of introducing the subject, very deep and with illuminating examples

    Books on QFT

    • Schwartz - Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model
      My favourite QFT book, at the right level for undergraduate studies.
    • Peskin & Schroeder - An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory
      Simply the classic, since 30 years. Unbeatable when it comes to calculations and phenomenological applications.
