Introduction to weak neutral currents and unified theories of electromagnetic and weak interactions
Reviews the present status of weak interaction phenomenology and discusses the basic principles of gauge theories. The author shows how the Higgs mechanism can give massive quanta of interaction. The so- called 'Weinberg-Salam' model, which unifies electromagnetic and weak interactions, is described. Unification with strong interactions and gravity is mentioned. (4 refs).

The standard model of particle physics: an introduction to the theory

The key concepts of gauge invariance and spontaneous symmetry breaking that helped build the standard model of particle physics are introduced. A short description of radiative corrections that have made the model pass all precision tests, in particular those from LEP, is presented. (32 refs).
