Books on Weak Interaction

AI Thread Summary
A user seeks a mathematically rigorous book on weak interactions for their thesis on neutron beta decay, specifically looking for detailed explanations of the CKM matrix and the historical development of the Lagrangian, starting from Fermi theory. They mention "Weak Interactions of Leptons and Quarks" by Commins and Bucksbaum but note a lack of reviews. The discussion revolves around recommendations for comprehensive resources on weak interactions, emphasizing the need for clarity and depth in the material.

Hi, I am interested in a mathematically relatively rigorous book on weak interaction. I am doing my thesis on neutron beta decay, and have a lot of questions about the CKM matrix, the historical development of the Lagrangian for the weak interaction preferably starting from the Fermi theory with step by step explanations. I found the book Weak Interactions of Leptons and Quarks by Commins and Bucksbaum, but couldn't find any opinions on this. Has anyone read this, and does anyone have any recommendations on a book on weak interaction?

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
