An introduction to gauge theories / Nicola Cabibbo, University of Rome, La Sapienza, and INFN Sezione di Roma, Rome, Luciano Maiani, University of Rome, La Sapienza, and INFN Sezione di Roma, Rome, Omar Benhar, INFN Sezione di Roma, and University of Rome, La Sapienza ; translated from the original Italian by Geoffrey Hall, Imperial College, London. - xvi, 303 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
"Written by three of the world's leading experts on particle physics and the standard model, including an award-winning former director general of CERN, this book provides a completely up-to-date account of gauge theories. Starting from Feynman's path integrals, Feynman rules are derived, gauge fixing and Faddeev-Popov ghosts are discussed, and renormalization group equations are derived. Several important applications to quantum electrodynamics and quantum chromodynamics (QCD) are discussed, including the one-loop derivation of asymptotic freedom for QCD"--
