Particle Prerequisites for Giunti and Kim's Neutrino Physics

AI Thread Summary
To prepare for reading Giunti and Kim's "Fundamentals of Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics," a solid understanding of quantum mechanics and basic particle physics is essential. Familiarity with concepts such as quantum field theory (QFT) and the Standard Model of particle physics will be beneficial. Recommended preparatory resources include introductory texts on quantum mechanics and particle physics, which can provide the necessary background. The introductory pages of Giunti and Kim's book may outline specific prerequisites, guiding further study.

Hi,

I'm a physics 2nd yr undergraduate and know some quantum physics, but I haven't been formally introduced to particle physics or QFT yet. What all do I need to learn before I start reading Giunti and Kim's Fundamentals of Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics?

And which books should I refer for them?

If you have access to a copy of that book, the introductory pages should tell you the prerequisites.

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!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
