Literature:
- http://pdg.lbl.gov/ Excellent, up to date, but not always coherent.
- Quarks & Leptons by F. Halzen, A. Martin, Wiley 1984) Old, Good theory, nothing
experimentally.
- Collider Physics by V. Barger, R. Phillips, Addison Wesley (1987) Theory more focused
and up to date, no experimental detectors, unattractive print.
- Introduction to Quantum Field Theory by M.E.Peskin, D.V.Schroeder, Westview (1995)
Very clear, we use only ch.1-4.
- Particle Physics by A.Seiden, Addison Wesley (2005) Relatively new, phenomenological
mostly
- Introduction to High Energy Physics by D.H.Perkins, Cambridge Press (2000) Easy, some
history and experimental methods, connection to cosmology.
- Instrumentation in High Energy Physics, F.Sauli editor, World Scientific (1992). Advanced
Series on Directions in HEP, Vol 9. Separate chapters on main detector components in
use now are available in the Physics Reading room. Some lecture notes will be handed out.
