The Standard Model and Beyond

This book presents the lectures given at the 16th British Universities' Summer School in Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics (BUSSTEPP) which was held at the University of Durham from 3-17 September 1986. BUSSTEPP, which is held annually, is intended to provide comprehensive lecture courses to supplement students' research work. It is aimed primarily at students of theoretical particle physics at the end of their first postgraduate year, but theoretically minded experimental students are also encouraged to attend. The course is taught by some of the leading names in theoretical particle physics, and their lectures are supplemented by exercises and tutorials. The volume will be of great interest to all students of particle physics and should provide a basis of 'necessary knowledge' to which they can refer throughout their courses.
