Description This book provides an introduction to the current state of our knowledge about the structure of matter. g., Quantum field theory, symmetry groups in Particle Physics an.
Since 1977 he has given both basic lectures in theoretical Physics and advanced courses on different topics in Particle physics, e.
In 1986 he was promoted to Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Vienna.
His research focus has been on theoretical Particle physics, in particular during several long-term visits at CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research in Geneva.
From the foreword by Michael Springer: "The great successes and the many open questions this book describes illustrate how immensely complicated nature is and nevertheless how much we already understand of it."The author Gerhard Ecker studied theoretical Physics with Walter Thirring at the University of Vienna.
A brief outline of the mathematical structures, an index of persons with research focuses and a glossary for quick reference of important terms such as gauge theory, spin and symmetry complete the book.
For advanced students, the book can serve as a comprehensive preparation for lectures on Particle Physics and Quantum field theory.
Teachers and others interested in Physics will find useful insights into the world of Particle physics.
It offers high school graduates and students of Physics in the first semesters an encouragement to understand Physics more deeply.
The author also emphasizes the interplay between theory and experiment, which helps us to explore the deepest mysteries of nature."Particles, Fields, Quanta" is written for everyone who enjoys physics. of Quantum field theory, gauge theories and the future of Particle physics. g.
The focus lies on the most important discoveries and developments, e.
Gerhard Ecker describes the development of modern Physics From the beginning of the Quantum age to the Standard Model of Particle physics, the fundamental theory of interactions of the microcosm.
