    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    "

    This textbook provides an introduction from the basics to modern experiments and the latest developments in particle physics. Experimental tools such as accelerators and detectors, as well as symmetry principles and their applications, are also thoroughly presented. Additionally, the Standard Model—which largely dominates today's experimental and theoretical discussions—is introduced.

    This book explains essential areas of quantum electrodynamics, the quark model, quantum chromodynamics, and the electroweak theory. The Lagrangian formalism formulates the Standard Model as a gauge theory, and the Higgs mechanism is described in detail. Extensive chapters on hadron collider physics and neutrino physics connect to current research and explore possible extensions of the Standard Model in light of recent experimental results. The appealing design of the textbook and the 207 exercises with solution hints and supplements as Jupyter Notebooks on GitHub serve for further in-depth study.
