Mesons and Fields, V2: Mesons

Mesons and Fields, Volume 2: Mesons is a comprehensive book written by Silvan S. Schweber. This book is a sequel to the first volume of Mesons and Fields and focuses on the study of mesons, which are subatomic particles that have a mass between that of an electron and a proton. The book begins with an introduction to the basic concepts of meson physics and then delves into the mathematical and theoretical aspects of meson interactions. The author provides a detailed account of the history of meson physics, including the discovery of mesons and their role in nuclear interactions. The book covers various topics related to mesons, such as the properties of mesons, meson decay, meson-nucleon interactions, and meson spectroscopy. The author also discusses the experimental techniques used to study mesons and the theoretical models used to describe their behavior. The book is written in a clear and concise manner, making it accessible to both students and researchers in the field of particle physics. It includes numerous diagrams, tables, and equations to aid in the understanding of the material. Overall, Mesons and Fields, Volume 2: Mesons is an essential resource for anyone interested in the study of mesons and their role in particle physics.In Two Volumes.
