This comprehensive presentation of modern particle physics provides a store of background knowledge of the big open questions that go beyond the Standard Model, concerning, for example, the existence of the Higgs boson or the nature of dark matter and dark energy. For each topic, the author introduces key ideas and derives basic formulas needed to understand the phenomenological outcomes. Experimental techniques used in detection are also explained. Finally, the most recent data and future prospects are reviewed. The book can be used to provide a quick look at specialized topics, both to high-energy and theoretical physicists and to astronomers and graduate students.
