I want to start self-learning particle physics, and was wondering if any of you can give me some pointers as to what to do in terms of books to read, maths to learn, etc.
Some background: I have taken undergrad level quantum mechanics 1 and 2 (completed Griffiths), and also a course on abstract algebra (basic group theory + intro to rings and fields).
My current plan for the short term: I plan to self-study from Griffiths' "Introduction to Elementary Particles" (heard great things about it), and also concurrently self-study Lie Algebra this summer.
I then plan to move on to slightly more formal books on particle physics (any recommendations?).
Any kind of input is welcomed and much appreciated. Thanks!
