Physics of Elementary Particles

Focusing on the physics of elementary particles and their interactions, this book offers an accessible introduction suitable for graduate students and physicists from other fields. It minimizes formalism while explaining concepts through basic theoretical arguments, requiring only a foundational understanding of quantum mechanics. Key topics include scattering, photoproduction, K-mesons, weak decay processes, and recent experiments on parity nonconservation, with ample references for further exploration of the material.
