please suggest me a good book on the high energy physics where group theory is discussed for the beginner.
This discussion highlights essential books for beginners interested in the intersection of group theory and high energy physics (HEP). Key recommendations include Griffith's "Introduction to Elementary Particles," Halzen & Martin's "Quarks and Leptons," Cornwell's "Group Theory in Physics: An Introduction," and Georgi's "Lie Algebras in Particle Physics." For a deeper understanding of group theory, Pierre Ramond's "Group Theory: A Physicist's Survey" and Sexl & Urbandtke's "Relativity, Groups, Particles" are also suggested as foundational texts.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for physics students, educators, and researchers focusing on high energy physics and group theory applications in particle physics.
While this is true, in my experience, you will not find a HEP book that covers group theory to any larger extent apart from the very basics needed for the applications relevant to that book only. If you want a somewhat deeper introduction to group theory in physics, there are many dedicated books for this.ChrisVer said:Any book in particle physics will devote some part to group theory in high energy physics (e.g. Griffith's "introduction to elementary particles").
