Where Can I Find Recommended References for Learning Particle Physics?

AI Thread Summary
To study the Standard Model of particle physics, using resources like "Introduction to Particle Physics" by Griffiths is recommended, especially for those without a background in quantum field theory (QFT). A foundational understanding of complex numbers, linear algebra, and multivariable calculus is essential for grasping the mathematical concepts presented in Griffiths' book. For further study, additional references on these mathematical topics are suggested to build the necessary skills for understanding particle physics and utilizing event generator software like Pythia or CompHep effectively.

I want to study the standard model of particle physics and i want to use some event generator software (Pythia, CompHep, ... ), I have


Introduction to Particle Physics by Griffth

Is this enough to learn the Standard Model, I have some basics in Quantum Mechanics

Any Recommendations ?

If you don't know quantum field theory, then I think Griffiths is a fine choice.
 
no i don't know QFT , what about the math required for the Griffth Book

thank you so much, can you give me a name of reference of these topics
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
