It outlines the historical development of the theoretical framework, including the experimental motivations and discoveries of the last and present centuries. The interplay between theory and experiment is central to the presentation, as is the physical reasoning behind every step taken.This second edition includes various important topics omitted from the first printing and also includes new material, both experimental and theoretical, that has emerged over the last decade of intense activity at CERN and elsewhere. The book additionally includes many exercises with complete worked answers.  aUndergraduate/masters physics students (and lecturers).  aAlso available in print.  aMode of access: World Wide Web.  aSystem requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.  aPhilip G. Ratcliffe has been a research assistant at Cambridge and London Universities and with the INFN Milan and Turin sections. In 1996 he moved to the School of Sciences in Como, at the University of Insubria, to take up a permanent position as a University Researcher in Theoretical Physics. His research activities regard elementary particle physics theory and phenomenology and he has spent periods visiting such institutions and laboratories as CERN, MIT, SLAC, Fermilab, BNL, INT (Seattle), the CPT in Marseille and the University of Paris.  aTitle from PDF title page (viewed on February 3, 2025).  aParticles (Nuclear physics)  aParticles (Nuclear physics)vProblems, exercises, etc. 7aParticle & high-energy physics.2bicssc 7aSCIENCE / Physics / Atomic & Molecular.2bisacsh2 aInstitute of Physics (Great Britain),epublisher. 8iPrint version:z9780750357579z9780750357609 0aIOP (Series).pRelease 24.  aIOP ebooks.p2024 collection.4 uhttps://iopscience.iop.org/book/mono/978-0-7503-5759-3
