TLDR

This highly-regarded text provides a comprehensive introduction to modern particle physics. Extensively rewritten and updated, this 4th edition includes developments in elementary particle physics, as well as its connections with cosmology and astrophysics. As in previous editions, the balance between experiment and theory is continually emphasised. The stress is on the phenomenological approach and basic theoretical concepts rather than rigorous mathematical detail. Short descriptions are given of some of the key experiments in the field, and how they have influenced our thinking. Although most of the material is presented in the context of the Standard Model of quarks and leptons, the shortcomings of this model and new physics beyond its compass (such as supersymmetry, neutrino mass and oscillations, GUTs and superstrings) are also discussed. The text includes many problems and a detailed and annotated further reading list.read more

Statistical data analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the Monte Carlo method is used to estimate probability functions and statistical errors, confidence intervals and limits, and the method of least squares is used for estimating probability functions.

Graphene: New bridge between condensed matter physics and quantum electrodynamics
TL;DR: Graphene is the first example of truly two-dimensional crystals as mentioned in this paper, and it is a gapless semiconductor with unique electronic properties resulting from the fact that charge carriers in graphene demonstrate charge-conjugation symmetry between electrons and holes and possess an internal degree of freedom similar to "chirality" for ultrarelativistic elementary particles.

Laser-induced continuum structure
TL;DR: In this paper, a dressing laser can embed a low-lying atomic state into a flat continuum to produce a tunable resonance of adjustable width, and the effects of laser phase fluctuations on the interference phenomena responsible for LICS are included in both semiclassical Wiener-Levy and fullyquantum mechanical theories of multiplicative stochastic processes.
