An Introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics D. A. Greenwood, W. N. Cottingham
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

The Standard Model of particle physics is a theoretical description of three of the four forces which control our universe (gravity strongly resists treatment within the structure of the Standard Model). The students see it as another success for the standard model of particle physics. Moreover, Veltman contends that there is no such thing as dark matter. Here A, C and D are heavy new-physics particles and j stands for a quark jet. The course will take place from 18 June to 20 July on The course instructor will be Dr. The Center for Theoretical Physics (CTP) at Zewail City of Science and Technology has the pleasure to announce the launch of a course on The Standard Model of Particle Physics. A recent conference in Kyoto, Japan, ruled out another broad class of supersymmetry models, and to solve the hierarchy problem makes some physicists uncomfortable. But Veltman, who helped to shape this model, is cynical. This is probably one of the reasons why scientists should reexamine why SUSY was first introduced and try to come up with new models that will go beyond the Standard Model. Interested postgraduate students with a required background in advanced quantum mechanisms who have been preferably introduced to quantum field theory are welcome to attend. So far, there have been no hints beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics from the LHC.
