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?
 
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
