Gauge Theory of Weak Decays: The Standard Model and the Expedition to New Physics Summits

Andrzej J. Buras

doi:10.1017/9781139524100

This is the first advanced, systematic and comprehensive look at weak decays in the framework of gauge theories, covering both theoretical and experimental topics. In addition to explicit advanced calculations of Feynman diagrams and the study of renormalization group strong interaction effects in weak decays, the book is devoted to the Standard Model Effective Theory, dominating present phenomenology in this field, and to new physics models with the goal of searching for new particles and interactions through quantum fluctuations. This book will benefit theorists, experimental researchers, and Ph.D. students working on flavour physics, weak decays and physics beyond the Standard Model. In its concern for the search for new phenomena at short distance scales through the interplay between theory and experiment, this book constitutes a travel guide to physics far beyond the scales explored by CERN's Large Hadron Collider. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

‘The uniqueness of this book lies in its precious details on a wide variety of interesting rare processes. It is a key reference … promises to be extremely useful in the coming decades.’
