An Introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics D. A. Greenwood, W. N. Cottingham
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

In the Third Edition the standard model of particle physics is carefully developed whilst unnecessary mathematical formalism is avoided where possible. Home >> Science >> Physics >> Particle Physics. In fact, virtually all particle physicists believe that standard model is only an effective theory of some more fundamental theory. Higgs mechanism aside though, the Standard Model of particle physics needs the Higgs particle. Collider Physics within the Standard Model: a Primer by Guido Altarelli. All the current theories, as Quantum Field Theory, Nuclear Physics, Particle Physics, Standard Model, etc., all they keep the fundamental principles of Quantum Mechanics. The discrepancy can be greatly reduced by introducing supersummetry (See Fig. Collider Physics within the Standard Model: a Primer - free book at E-Books Directory - download here. Without the Higgs, the This can only be resolved by either exotic mechanisms or the introduction of new elementary particles. But the label “God Particle,” attached to the poor unsuspecting Higgs boson by Leon Lederman and Dick Teresi, continues to wreak havoc on physicists' attempts to clearly explain what is going on.
