Recenzii
'Stuart Raby's book is an outstanding addition to the suite of textbooks on the Standard Model of particle physics, and it goes well beyond, as the title promises. The treatment is pedagogical and solidly anchored on quantum field theory and symmetry principles. It weaves seamlessly the fundamental aspects with phenomenology to offer a broad and deep exploration of one of the most successful theories of fundamental interactions and its possible extensions. With excellent suggestions for independent research projects, this textbook is bound to become a true classic, and it will be welcomed by students and instructors alike.' Daniel Boyanovsky, University of Pittsburgh
'This is a fantastic book on the Standard Model and its extensions that will serve as an excellent resource for graduate students and researchers. Raby is one of the world's foremost experts on physics beyond the Standard Model, in particular supersymmetry and Grand Unified Theories, so the reader is in good hands. His treatment is very complete, starting from an almost foundational level, but over the course of over 600 pages he takes us to the cutting edge of particle physics research, with a clear, mathematically detailed narrative that never becomes overwhelming. This is a book I will most certainly be recommending to my own students!' David Miller, University of Glasgow
'… reading through Stuart Raby's book was a nice reminder of the importance and elegance of the Standard Model and gave an excellent insight into the many exciting areas of research beyond it that are still active today.' Richard Lane, The Observatory
