PARTICLE PHYSICS
Introduces the Basic concepts in the emerging Field of Particle Physics. A journey through fundamental particles of matter.Describes the evolution of Particle physics from the classification of elementary particles based on interaction and spin ,basic quantum numbersand conservation laws and through the eightfold way model to the ultimate quark structure. It also introduce the field bosons responsible for the interactins.Higg's Boson the God's own particle and its significance is also included . It also deals with the quarks with different flavors and colors and the theory of color charge -Quantum Chromodynamics. A small description of Feynmann Diagram is also given .
