Particle What are the best resources for studying physics beyond the standard model?

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for resources on physics beyond the standard model are sought, specifically for someone with a solid understanding of quantum field theory (QFT) and the standard model (SM). The ideal resource should encompass various theoretical frameworks like Grand Unified Theories (GUTs), supersymmetry, string theory, and quantum gravity, detailing the key concepts, advantages, disadvantages, and unresolved issues within each theory. A suggested book is Michael Dine's "Supersymmetry and String Theory - Beyond the SM," which appears to cover these topics comprehensively, although the user has not yet engaged with it. Links to both the first and second editions of the book are provided for reference.

Hi.

I'm looking for recommendations of books, surveys, or lecture notes, that deal with physics beyond the standard model all in one place.

The starting point is someone who already knows QFT and the SM at the level of Schwartz's book on QFT and the SM.

The ideal book would cover all the main venues tried so far (GUTs, supersymmetry, string theory, quantum gravity, etc.), teaching the essential points of each theory, as well as their advantages, disadvantages, and open problems.

Cheers.

Hi,

I happened to have this book lying around, Michael Dine's "Supersymmetry and String Theory - Beyond the SM". Unfortunately I have so far not actually worked with the book, but the table of contents promises to cover most of what you asked for (Part 1: SM and GUTs; Part 2: Susy; Part 3: String Theory). Unfortunately, I couldn't find it online, at least not on a website I felt comfortable sharing here.

Sorry for the sparse information...

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!
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
