Particle Physics: Theory and Applications (Volume II)

Particle physics is a branch of physics that is involved in the study of the elementary constituents of matter and radiation, and the interactions between them. It is also referred to as high energy physics because many subatomic particles are absent in nature under normal circumstances but can be created and detected during energetic collisions of other particles. In particle physics, large particle accelerators are used for fundamental research. Particle accelerator is a machine that uses...
