Electroweak Interactions: An Introduction to the Physics of Quarks and Leptons

Describes the theory of electroweak interactions, starting from a level understandable to students with only a first degree in physics. This theory unifies the weak and electromagnetic forces of nature and gives a detailed description of the interactions between quarks and leptons, the basic building blocks of matter. Of great value to researchers and beginning graduate students in high energy physics.Peter Renton is the author of 'Electroweak Interactions: An Introduction to the Physics of Quarks and Leptons', published 1990 under ISBN 9780521266031 and ISBN 0521266033.
