内容简介

《统一理论和超对称(第3版)》是作者依据其为马里兰大学高年级研究生授课时所用的讲义编著而成，详细介绍了人们尝试建立一个能够描述自然界中各种基本相互作用的大统一理论的最新进展。《统一理论和超对称(第3版)》包罗甚广，涉及到粒子物理学中的大统一理论和超对称理论中的许多议题，例如自发对称破缺，大统一理论，超对称性和超引力等。作者在简要回顾了基本粒子理论之后，详细介绍了复合夸克，轻子，希格斯玻色子和CP破坏等论题，最后讨论超对称的大统一方案。这是《统一理论和超对称(第3版)》的第三版，进一步修订了书中内容，添入该领域的最新进展，特别是近年来实验方面的诸多进展。对这些新进展的集中介绍很有意义，使得《统一理论和超对称(第3版)》成为该领域中连接传统理论与研究前沿的有益桥梁。无论对该领域的研究生还是对研究人员来讲，《统一理论和超对称(第3版)》都是一部很有价值的教科书和参考文献。
