Group Theory in Subnuclear Physics Oxford Studies in Nuclear Physics

This book is a useful and accessible introduction to symmetry principles in particle physics. Concepts of group theory are clearly explained and their applications to subnuclear physics brought up to date. Many worked examples are included. There is a growing interest in the quark structure of hadrons and in theories of particle interactions based on the principle of gauge symmetries.

Students and researchers on theoretical physics will make great strides in their work with the ideas and applications found here.
