Review of Particle Physics 2008
by L. Alvarez-Gaume
Publisher: Elsevier 2008
ISBN/ASIN: B001K7NO5U
Number of pages: 1340
Description:
This biennial Review summarizes much of particle physics. Using data from previous editions, plus 2778 new measurements from 645 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We also summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as Higgs bosons, heavy neutrinos, and supersymmetric particles.
