Title Particles, Fields and Forces : A Conceptual Guide to Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model Author(s) Schmitz, Wouter Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. Description XI, 321 p : online resource Abstract Note How can fundamental particles exist as waves in the vacuum? How can such waves have particle properties such as inertia? What is behind the notion of ???virtual??? particles? Why and how do particles exert forces on one another? Not least: What are forces anyway? These are some of the central questions that have intriguing answers in Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Unfortunately, these theories are highly mathematical, so that most people - even many scientists - are not able to fully grasp their meaning. This book unravels these theories in a conceptual manner, using more than 180 figures and extensive explanations and will provide the nonspecialist with great insights that are not to be found in the popular science literature ISBN,Price 9783030128784 Keyword(s) 1.
