In the second, revised edition of a well-established textbook, the author strikes a balance between quantitative rigor and intuitive understanding, using a lively, informal style. The first chapter provides a detailed historical introduction to the subject, while subsequent chapters offer a quantitative presentation of the Standard Model. A simplified introduction to the Feynman rules, based on a "toy" model, helps readers learn the calculational techniques without the complications of spin. It is followed by accessible treatments of quantum electrodynamics, the strong and weak interactions, and gauge theories. New chapters address neutrino oscillations and prospects for physics beyond the Standard Model. The book contains a number of worked examples and many end-of-chapter problems. A complete solution manual is available for instructors.

Love Griffiths

Every undergraduate particle course should use this book. It makes particle physics extremely accessible and fun. It should be helpful for graduate school too and I am definitely keeping my copy

Great Book

My 16 yr old son asked for this book for Christmas. He had been reading it daily since Christmas Day, he says "this is a really good book". I know strange gift request.

Great book, small font

Griffiths, he's great. If you've read and understood undergrad mechanics, e&m (Griffiths), and quantum mechanics (Griffiths), then you're ready for this book and you'll know what to expect from Griffiths.I like his wordy introductionto the subject---he tells the history of particle mechanics like a story, thus making it easier to memorize the particle's names and properties. I'm using this book as a backup to Perkins. Perkins flies through this stuff, Griffiths actually explains it.The font size in this paper back print is kinda small, maybe 10 (pt).Some of the information in this book is dated given the youth of the subject. Nonetheless, I'm finding it to be a good introductory text.
