夸克、輕子和規(guī)范場

前言

According to the current view，the basic building blocks of matter are quarks and leptons，which interact with one another through the intermediaries of Yang. Mills gauge fields （gravity being ignored in this context）.This means that the forms of the interactions are completely determined by the algebraic structure of certain internal symmetry groups.Thus，the strong interactions are associated with the group SU（3），and iS described by a gauge theory called quantum chromodynamics.The electro.weak interactions.as described by the now start. dard Weinberg-Salam model，iS associated with the group su（2）×U（1）.This book iS a concise introduction to the physical motivation behind these ideas，and precise mathematical formulation thereof.The goal of the book iS to explain why and how the mathematical formalism helps US to understand the relevant observed phenomena.The audience for which this book iS written ale graduate students in physics who have some knowledge of the experimental parts of particle physics，and an acquaintance with quantum field theory.including Feynman graphs and the notion of renormalization.This book might serve as a text for a one-semester course beyond quantum field theory.The first edition 0f mis book，which came out in 1982，was based on a course I gave at M.I.T.，and on lectures I gave in Santiago，Chile，in 1977，and in Beiiing，China.in 1979.I am indebted to I.Saavedra for the opportunity to lecture in Chile.to Chang Wen-yu and S.C.C.Ting for the inducement to give the Beijing lecture。and to M.Jacob and K.K.Phua for the encouragement to bring out the first edition.  The main addition to the second edition are Wilson’S approach t0 renormaliza. tion，Iattice gauge theory，and quark confinement.I am grateful to the many readers who have pointed out ell-ors in the first edition.which I hope have been corrected in this edition.I owe special thanks to my colleagues at M.I.T.，especially A.Guth.R. Jackiw，K.Johnson，and J.Polonyi，from whom I have Iearned much that iS being passed along in this book.

內(nèi)容概要

依據(jù)通行的觀點(diǎn)，物質(zhì)的基本徹塊是夸克與輕子，它們通過楊-米爾斯規(guī)范場的媒介相互作用(在這種場合下引力被忽略了)。這就意味著相互作用的形式是完全由某些內(nèi)部對稱群的代數(shù)結(jié)構(gòu)所決定的。于是強(qiáng)相互作用是與SU(3)群相關(guān)聯(lián)的，它是由叫做量子色動力學(xué)的規(guī)范場理論所描述的。而電一弱相互作用則是與SU(2)XU(1)群相關(guān)聯(lián)的，現(xiàn)在它是由標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的溫伯格-薩拉姆模型來描述的。本書簡明地介紹了在這些思想背后的動力，以及由此而來的嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)臄?shù)學(xué)系統(tǒng)表述。
