This particle was one of the last to be found as predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. Thus, small neutrino masses are the first signature in particle physics of a new beyond the Standard Model physics. Straightforward treatments of the Standard Model of particle physics and that of cosmology are supplemented with introductory accounts of more speculative theories, including supersymmetry and string theory. Series: Lecture Notes in Physics, Vol. Particle Physics – an Introduction. Posted on By not including gravity, the Standard Model is effectively excluded as a candidate for the much sought after “Theory of Everything”, the ultimate goal of particle physics. I figured that with all of Homer's excited postings about the new physics CKM fit, the blog could benefit with a too simple introduction to why flavor physics is interesting and important. The first half of the book is a workmanlike introduction to the standard models of particle physics and of cosmology. The study of particle physics is the process of breaking the world down into its basic fundamental building blocks. An Introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics, 2nd edition.
