Cambridge Monographs on Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics, & Cosmology #10: Heavy Quark Physics Heavy Quark Physicsby Aneesh Vasant Manohar
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Understanding the physics of heavy quarks gives physicists the unique opportunity to test the predictions of Quantum Chromodynamics and the Standard Model. This is the first introductory text to this exciting new area of high-energy physics. The book begins with a review of the standard model, followed by the basics of heavy quark spin-flavor symmetry and how it can be applied to the classification of states, decays and fragmentation. Heavy quark effective theory is then developed and applied to the study of hadron masses, form factors, and inclusive decay rates. The authors also discuss the application of chiral perturbation theory to heavy hadrons. Written by two world leading experts, the presentation is clear, original and thoroughly modern, and problems are also included. This lucid volume provides graduate students with an ideal introduction to the physics of heavy quarks, and more experienced researchers with an authoritative reference to the subject. Review:"...a detailed and well-thought-out presentation by two world-renowned experts...a wonderful text for graduate students in particle and nuclear physics who are interested in learning the tools of heavy quark physics from two of the experts in the field. This book is a must for both particle theorists and experimentalists who are currently researching heavy quark systems."
