Some experimental results (the discovery of neutral currents and of the W± and Z0 bosons; the quark structure observed using deep inelastic scattering experiments) show the necessity of an evolution of the formalism. This motivates a more detailed description of the weak and strong interactions, of the Standard Model of the microcosm with its experimental tests, and of the Higgs mechanism. The open problems in the Standard Model of the microcosm and macrocosm are presented at the end of the book. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-11-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789400724631\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-007-2464-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 498\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer-Verlag Italia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47671655137420,"sku":"9789400724631","price":76.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789400724631.jpg?v=1776519265","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789400724631","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
