Ian J.R. Aitchison is Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford and a visiting scientist at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. He has previously held research positions at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Saclay, and the University of Cambridge. He was a visiting professor at the University of Rochester and the University of Washington, and a scientific associate at CERN. Dr. Aitchison has published over 90 scientific papers mainly on hadronic physics and quantum field theory. He is the author of Relativistic Quantum Mechanics, An Informal Introduction to Gauge Field Theories, and Supersymmetry in Particle Physics and joint editor of two other books. Anthony J.G. Hey is Vice President of Microsoft Research Connections, where he is responsible for the worldwide external research and technical computing strategy across Microsoft Corporation. A fellow of the U.K. Royal Academy of Engineering, Dr. Hey was previously the director of the U.K. e-Science Initiative and the head of the School of Electronics and Computer Science and dean of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Southampton. His research interests encompass parallel programming for parallel systems built from mainstream commodity components. With Jack Dongarra, Rolf Hempel, and David Walker, he wrote the first draft of a specification for a new message-passing standard called MPI. This initiated the process that led to the successful MPI standard of today.
Aitchison and Hey was the 'bible' for me as a young post-doc in the 1980s ... The book has been revised regularly as the field progressed and I am delighted to see a new edition which brings it up to date to the discovery of a Higgs-like boson at the LHC in July 2012. ... Its strength has always been the combination of the theory with discussion of experimental results. The new edition continues this tradition by including ... discussion of the related important observations of the last ten years-CP violation and oscillations in the B sector and the now rich phenomenology of neutrino oscillations. This will become a new classic. -Amanda Cooper-Sarkar, Oxford University, UK This is an indispensable textbook for all particle physicists, experimentalists and theorists alike, providing an accessible expose of the Standard Model, covering the mathematics used to describe it and some of the most important experimental results which vindicate it. ... Volume 2 has been updated with extended discussions on quark and neutrino mixing and inclusion of results on CP violation and neutrino oscillations ... these textbooks will remain on the top of a high energy physicist's reading list for years to come. -Matthew Wing, University College London, UK
