About This Book
Volume II of the two-volume graduate textbook on quantum field theory, written by Dmitry V. Naumov, Breakthrough Prize laureate and Deputy Director of the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems at JINR, Dubna.
This volume continues from Volume I with the path integral formulation of quantum field theory, non-abelian gauge theories, and the construction of the Standard Model of particle physics. The approach is the same throughout: every formalism is grounded in physical reasoning, aimed at physicists who work with experiment.
