Any book recomendation for learning about particles?

[Barbarian]

Hello everyone! Right now I study wormholes but not sure if it is the topic I want to connect my future work with. So I was thinking about changing my current topic to particles. It is much better to change the subject of study when you already have something in mind=) So could you please recomend me some books about particles (in English or Russian)?

Welcome to PF.

What is your math background so far? Have you read through the introductory article at Wikipedia yet? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_physics You can click into some of the References at the end for more detailed reading...

Thank you for advice! Completlely forgot about the References in Wikipedia Speaking about mathematical background consists of knowledge that one gets in two years of university for now. So it is mathematical analysys,probability theory, mostly self learned tensor analysys, differencial equasions and so on

By particles, do you mean elementary particles? Before studying it, you should first learn some quantum mechanics.

Anyway, since probably nobody else will recommend you a book on particles in Russian, I will: Okun, Leptoni i Kvarki.

Thank you very much for advice and book recommendation!

Here's a very beginner friendly course: https://ppc.web.cern.ch/

There's also "A very short introduction to Particle Physics" by OUP

David Tong's lectures on Particle Physics are a really accesible introduction to the phenomenology of the Standard Model.
