The Standard Model in the Making: Precision Study of the Electroweak Interactions

The Standard Model is an important theory in particle physics, which unifies the theories of electromagnetic and weak interactions in atomic particles. This book describes the predictions of the Standard Model relating to these experiments, summarizing the important developments and paving the way for experiments at higher energies.
The aim of this book is to give a comprehensive exposition of the foundations of the Standard Model and to outline their applicability to high energy phenomena. It provides an easily accessible introduction to all aspects of renormalization, the mathematical tool that has paved the way for a calculable theory of the fundamental interactions. The theory is clearly developed from the renormalizability of the Standard Model and guidance is given as to its applications
to high energy phenomena. The book includes all the details needed to derive the results and collects in one place all relevant formulae, recipes and prescriptions which are needed to construct the theoretical predictions and compare them with the experimental results. This makes the book unique in
its field.
