I am mostly interested in particle physics so if anyone can suggest some good books for it
Particle physics is a branch of physics that studies the fundamental building blocks of matter and their interactions. It involves studying subatomic particles such as electrons, protons, and neutrons, and the forces that govern their behavior.
Some popular books for learning about particle physics include "Introduction to Elementary Particles" by David Griffiths, "The Particle Odyssey" by Frank Close, and "Quantum Field Theory for the Gifted Amateur" by Tom Lancaster and Stephen J. Blundell.
Particle physics has connections to many other fields of science, such as cosmology, astrophysics, and nuclear physics. It also has practical applications in fields such as medicine and engineering.
Yes, there have been many exciting discoveries in particle physics in recent years. Some notable ones include the discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider, the detection of gravitational waves, and the observation of neutrino oscillations.
While particle physics can be a complex and challenging subject, it is possible for anyone to understand the basics. Many books on particle physics are written for a general audience and do not require an advanced scientific background. However, it may require some effort and perseverance to fully grasp the concepts.
