Book reccomendations: CP violation, SUSY and Gravity/EM unification?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on book recommendations for a dissertation focusing on CP violation, Supersymmetry, and gravity/electromagnetism unification. The user seeks entry-level texts suitable for a master's physics student, specifically avoiding overly complex mathematics like group theory. Key topics include the imbalance of antimatter to matter in the universe and the role of extra dimensions in unification theories. The user aims to gather foundational knowledge to support their dissertation and future studies in these areas.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of CP violation and its implications in particle physics
  • Familiarity with Supersymmetry concepts
  • Basic knowledge of gravity and electromagnetism unification theories
  • Awareness of extra dimensions in theoretical physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "CP Violation: From Theory to Experiment" for foundational insights
  • Explore "Supersymmetry: A Very Short Introduction" for an accessible overview
  • Investigate "Quantum Field Theory and Statistical Mechanics: An Introduction for Advanced Students of Theoretical Physics" for a deeper understanding
  • Look into "Extra Dimensions in Space and Time" for advanced concepts in unification
USEFUL FOR

Graduate physics students, researchers in particle physics, and anyone interested in the theoretical aspects of CP violation, Supersymmetry, and unification theories.

Hi guys,

I am doing a dissertation on one of these topics and wondered if anyone knows of some good books that may be good to start out from. Especially if the books focus on the particle physics aspects of these topics.

So any books for CP violation and the imbalance of antimatter to matter in the universe; Supersymmetry; gravity and EM unification which requires "extra dimensions". Entry level texts required. Thanks in advance

A dissertation is usually a PhD thesis, and usually references primary sources. So I am a little unclear on exactly what you mean by "entry level texts".

Sorry my mistake for not being more clear. The course is called a dissertation here in the uk and it is part of my masters degree, it will be somewhere between 5000 and 7000 words. I guess by entry level i mean something at a 3rd year/masters physics student level where these concepts are most likely to be met in greater detail. I was looking for something that didnt involve too much specialist mathematics such as group theory although a little bit is fine as i do this course next semester also. I expect my supervisor will know of some good books but i want to get ahead of the game by a couple of weeks. To be honest, any books that cover the topics in great depth will be of use to me as i can just extract the understandable parts.

I do intend to head into fields that incorporate these topics anyway so any books will also be of use to know of for the future. Thanks again
