Overview
- Provides an overview of the present-day theoretical and experimental knowledge of particle physics
- Includes a discussion of gauge theories in general, and the Standard Model in particular, unifying the forces between quarks and leptons
- Further topics are symmetry violations, quark flavour mixing, neutrino masses, and neutrino oscillations
- Also concepts that go beyond the Standard Model, like supersymmetry, strings, and grand unification, are introduced
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
