Morii T., Lim C.S., Mukherjee S.N. The Physics of the Standard Model and Beyond

World Scientific Publishing, 2004. — 314 p.The aim of the present textbook is to give a unified description of the structures and interactions of elementary particles, by discussing the underlying theories, namely the standard model of elementary particles and physics beyond the standard model. Especially, concerning the description of the physics beyond the standard model, we will select the hot topics of our current interest, including the issues inspired by various experiments as much as possible.Elementary Particles in the Standard Model
