Introduction to Young-tableaux and weight diagrams?

Click For Summary
A request for a concise introduction to Young-tableaux and weight diagrams highlights the need for resources that include detailed examples, particularly in physics applications like the standard model. The user seeks a dedicated resource that is easy to print, as opposed to comprehensive group-theory textbooks. Concerns about the PDG treatment suggest it may lack the depth or clarity desired for these topics. The only recommended resource mentioned is the appendix of Sternberg's book on "group theory and physics." A focused guide on Young-tableaux and weight diagrams could greatly benefit those studying their applications in physics.

I am looking for a short pedagogical introduction to Young-tableaux and weight diagrams and the relationship between them, which contains many detailled and worked out examples of how these methods are applied in physics, such as in the context of the standard model and beyond for example.

I am rather looking for a resource that is dedicated specifically to this topics, which I can easily print out, conversely to a heavy general group-theory textbook.

What don't you like about the PDG treatment?
 
The only reasonable discussion I am aware off can be found in the appendix in Sternbergs book on "group theory and physics".
